Gparted freezed during a HD scan

[karolus]

I was attempting to delete a partition on a broken HD. During this operation, Gparted freezed and I needed to stop it with xkill command. I think that it's a fault due to the broken hard disk, not to some bug in Gparted, but, in doubt, I prefere to do this bug report.
