Hi Phil, thanks for looking into this. I am on ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I was not using the LiveCD, just the gparted as available via apt. I attach the .htm report of GParted when it crashed (it says "Libparted 3.2"). NB: I got the same errors when running fatresize. How do I find out the exact version of libparted? According to the changelog files installed in my system (see below), I have two versions - parted (2.3-19ubuntu1.14.04.1) (Patch 23 Jul 2015) - parted (3.2-15) unstable; urgency=medium (Patch 10 Feb 2016) Can you find the information you need below? If not let me know.
