I should be able to try it again this week.
However, I just tried running gparted with an Imation 4 GB stick straight from the packaging. lsusb shows: Bus 001 Device 008: ID 0718:044e Imation Corp.
I was going to put dban on it, and I get a crash similar to the one in the bug description:

This happened: 1. when the stick was connected before gparted was run. 2. gparted was run, then the stick inserted and the drives refreshed.
I am making an image of the stick with dd, and I can upload it if it would be useful - suggestions for locations welcome.
