[Bug 1342255] Re: `malloc(): corrupted unsorted chunks 2` after copying data from hfsplus partition with cp

[Curtis Gedak]

GParted 0.18.0 contains some bugs known to cause crashes.

See:
Bug 729139 - Refactor OperationDetail to address random crash behavior
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729139

Bug 731752 - Write after free cross thread race in PipeCapture::_OnReadable() causes crash
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=731752

Can you retry using GParted 0.20.0?

The easiest way might be to boot from media containing GParted Live (version 0.20.0-2 is soon to migrate from the testing folder to the production folder).

Title:
  `malloc(): corrupted unsorted chunks 2` after copying data from
  hfsplus partition with cp

Status in “gparted” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After copying data from a `hfsplus`to a `fat32`/`vfat` partition on an
  USB stick with `cp` of busybox 1.20.2 in a Lubuntu 13.04 live session
  on an `iMac G4 PowerMac 6,1`, gparted crashes with

    * `*** Error in `/usr/sbin/gpartedbin': malloc(): corrupted unsorted chunks 2: 0x0000000000b93e10 ***` if I request the `vfat` partition to be made smaller and an ext4 partition to be created on the freed space
    * `Attempt to write sectors 4026-4089 outside of partition on .
  *** Error in `/usr/sbin/gpartedbin': corrupted double-linked list: 0x0000000002303740 ***` if I request the `vfat` partition to be made smaller only

  The USB stick is a SanDisk Extreme USB 3.0 with 64 GB capacity. Two
  primary fat32 partitions (formatted with gparted) are present on a
  `msdos` partition table.

  Experienced with 0.18.0 on Ubuntu 14.04.
