Hi.  You appear to be reporting a bug in GNU parted but we don't know anything about parted here.

Looking around I find the GNU parted project page:

https://www.gnu.org/software/parted/

On that page they say:

"Bug reports should be send to <bug-parted@gnu.org>." That is bug-parted AT gnu.org in case the email address becomes redacted.

Please email your bug report to them.  Thanks!

I apologize if this issue has already been fixed/reported. I just wanted to avoid leaving the issue unknown.

My parted instance on Ubuntu Server 16.04LTS x86-64 recently crashed with this message while I was trying to format a disk:
