gdb backtrace of the crash

I formatted my SD card and created an MBR partition table (zeroing the card). I then tried to create a partition (zeroing the free space) on my SD card as FAT with label "Camera". Unfortunately at this point the GNOME Disks app crashed. After the crash, the partition was created but contained no data or filesystem (verified with file -s and hexedit). I have attached a gdb backtrace for the crash. I am using gnome-disk-utility 3.18.0-1 and udisks2 2.1.6-2 on Debian stretch.

I just tried to format the partition again and got the same crash so if you need me to do any experiments I should be able to reproduce the issue.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. In the future, please try to install relevant debuginfo before reporting crashes. I now realize that's hard on Debian, though. :/

Anyway, this is bug #756275, and there's a good backtrace there.
