I guess nobody really care of this problem, which i can understand...
Nevertheless i found something new :
If running GParted live (compiled with parted-1.8.2) from usb drive, it
*NEVER* crashes !
And there is no cd in any cd device !
Is it possible to pass some command in parted so it doesnt scan
/dev/cdrom or /dev/dvdrom ?
Excuse my naive question, but i am not a dev :-/

Well, i had some problem with livecd so i didn't get any free time to
make what you did ATM.
Anyway, the bug seems to be fixed, after someone reported that the
problem comes from parted who scans cdrom fs !
I made tests and must say GParted doesn't crash anymore if i first
remove the livecd from /dev/cdrom !

I found the package in gentoo and currently rebuilding livecd with

Tell me please how it works ?
I must run gparted from within Terminal with some options ???
There's no need to recompile in order to use valgrind, but it does
work better (by including line numbers in stack traces) if the tools
you're investigating include debugging symbols.
To use gparted under valgrind, run gparted like this from a terminal:
valgrind --num-callers=25 -- gparted [any gparted options]
Be aware that using valgrind's --num-callers=25 option
does slow things down even more than valgrind normally does,
but given the size of the stack trace in the bug report,
it seems necessary to get the full trace.
If you'd rather not start it from a terminal,
you can tell valgrind to send its log info to a file, e.g.,
valgrind --num-callers=25 --log-file-exactly=/tmp/vg-parted --
gparted
