Bug Description

Situation:
Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail
Kernel: 3.8.0-25-generic (x86_64)
Package: gnu-fdisk 1.2.5-2 (amd64)

The application cfdisk in the package gnu-fdisk segfaults when getting I/O read errors while trying to modify the layout of a disk. gnu-fdisk itself just reports a read error and offers some options. (The I/O errors here are due to a faulty usbbus, but this report is only about the segfaulting when errors occur).

strace of the process is attached.
