Public bug reported:

While formatting my 16GB usb stick in natillus with right click menu
command "Format device" produces a partition table like this:

Befehl (m für Hilfe): p

My USB Stick is only 16gb, while the partition table shows about 1,6
TB!!

This is the seconds time, I observe this! The first formatted usb stick
was unusable since then!!
