Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: usb-creator

I ran into a problem using usb-creator-gtk to create a live USB disk.  I
first created the disk on a machine with 4GB RAM without error, but the
resultant USB disk would not boot.  I then tried creating the USB disk
on a machine with only 1GB RAM and received the message that the md5sums
did not match.

After some experimenting and running md5sum manually I discovered the
USB disk had a few bad blocks which do not report read or write errors
when accessed.  Dropping the filesystem cache or unmounting and mounting
the target disk again before checking the md5sums should detect this
kind of failure.
