Bug Description

Binary package hint: gparted

Gutsy, updated Oct 19th. gParted 0.3.3
When I unmounted my NTFS and then an EXT3 partition gparted hung and dissappeared. This did not get picked up by the crash detector thingy. So I installed gparted-dbgsym and gdb and produced this text when I unmounted another EXT3 partition. None of the partitions involved are needed by my system.

This GDB was configured as "i486-linux-gnu"...
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libthread_db.so.1".

I also have experienced the same problem - after unmounting an NTFS partition the first time it unmounted it and then hung while in the rescaning devices phase, subsequent times I've seen it segmentation fault immediately on clicking the unmount button. Running gparted again shows that the partition was actually unmounted.
This is a clean install of Gutsy 7.10 Release Candidate 1 on a dell Inspiron 700m

The about dialog says I have gparted 0.3.3 and the segmentation fault (if I run from command line) looks like this:

======================
libparted : 1.7.1
======================
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I notice if I start gparted and just do 'refresh devices' on its own I get the same result - immediate segementation fault.
