Bug Description

Binary package hint: usb-creator

When I use usb-creatork-gtk with the persistent space slider completely to the right, the error belows occurs and the GUI hangs on 100%. I have to press cancel to get out of usb-creator-gtk.

It seems usb-creator-gtk needs/expects more disk space than is available.

With the slider NOT competely to the right (persistent space 1.1 GB instead of the full 1.2 GB, on 2GB stick), everything goes OK.
