gpartedbin crashed with SIGSEGV in main_arena()

[Alec Taylor]

Clicked minimize in the non front window (the one with the partitions; as opposed to the one with the progress bar); and the whole terminal froze.

About 10 minutes later in a different virtual terminal; a crash finally occurred and I was able to submit this bug report; with details.

[Curtis Gedak (gedakc)]

This crash sounds suspiciously similar to the following upstream bug report:

682658 - GParted crash by pressing Esc in dialogs with number entry
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=682658

If these are the same, then the problem was fixed in the upstream release of GParted 0.14.0.

[Phillip Susi (psusi)]

It looks like this was fixed in 13.10.
