Binary package hint: gparted

Ubuntu 9.10 using the i386 desktop install CD, running the live CD and launching gparted (GParted 0.4.5):

# apt-cache policy gparted
gparted:
  Installed: 0.4.5-2ubuntu1
  Candidate: 0.4.5-2ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 0.4.5-2ubuntu1 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

When applying a single operation, resizing a 111.47GiB HFS+ partition to 60GiB (ish) gparted crashed almost instantly. Using 'parted', it seems no changes to the drive actually took place:

(parted) print all
Model: ATA TOSHIBA MK1234GS (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 120GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B

Crash information should be attached.
