Title:
  gparted fails to start for bad disk name

Status in “gparted” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gparted

  I have a USB disk with a seemingly broken name, showing up in Nautilus
  with unicode characters at the end (characters appear as C M 0010 001A
  with the last two being four small characters in a box). gparted fails
  to start:

  
  ======================
  libparted : 2.3
  ======================

  glibmm-ERROR **: 
  unhandled exception (type std::exception) in signal handler:
  what: basic_string::_S_create

  aborting...

  
  gparted on Debian stable works, with the version of libparted shown as 1.8.8.
