[Bug 1325708] Re: Error in `/usr/sbin/gpartedbin': malloc(): smallbin double linked list corrupted: 0x000000000107d210

[Curtis Gedak]

GParted uses the libparted library from the parted project to handle
many of the partitioning tasks.

Would you be able to provide the output from the following command?

sudo parted /path-to-your-device unit s print

Where:  /path-to-your-device is something like /dev/sdb.

Title:
  Error in `/usr/sbin/gpartedbin': malloc(): smallbin double linked list
  corrupted: 0x000000000107d210

Status in “gparted” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Launched gparted and tried to do an fsck on a FAT32 formatted external USB pandrive, device /dev/sdb, partition /dev/sdb1.
  As soon as i clicked [Apply] to actually run the fsck job, gparted closed and in the terminal window from which I had launched "sudo gparted" the following error message was displayed:

  *** Error in `/usr/sbin/gpartedbin': malloc(): smallbin double linked list corrupted: 0x000000000107d210 ***
  Aborted (core dumped)

  This crash is reproducible at will.

  The pnedrive itself is all right, so is the filesystem on it.
  sudo fsck -V -f /dev/sdb1 as well as
  sudo dosfsck -v /dev/sdb1
  both work correctly.
