Title:
  Crashes when an unrecognized partition exists

Status in “gparted” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gparted

  gparted crashed with the following console output:

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

  aborting...

  
  Originally, this crash was triggered by a disk with an msdos disklabel and one partition containing an LVM PV.

  I then dd-ed zeroes over the first gigabyte ---> no longer crashes.

  I then created *within gparted* an msdos disklabel and one unformatted
  partition. ---> on restarting it, gparted crashes in the same way!
