Public bug reported:

It has been already reported that USB-creator is broken on 12.10, with
USB images not being bootable. However, I also use this tool for quickly
formatting my USB pen drive before using unetbootin. However, doing so
results in a weird error message popping up and a 100% CPU hang coming
from udisks (see attached screenshots). In the meantime, USB-creator
stays stuck on "Erasing" indefinitely and I have to manually kill the
udisks-helper-* job in order to get full control on my machine back.

This is a serious issue. Together with the non-bootable Live-USB, it
makes this tool completely useless on my machine. From a user
perspective, It does not feel very serious for a Ubuntu-branded app (cf.
app icon).
