Hi Phillip,

It's a new bug in parted 3.2 which didn't exist in earlier releases of
parted.  In the bug report [1] it was git bisected to this commit [2].

[1] Bug 735669 - GParted crashes resizing fat16 file system
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735669

[2] Fix filesystem detection on non 512 byte sectors

Thanks,
