Yep.  Good catch.
Actually, it should probably be uint32_t,
but if "unsigned int" ever ends up with size different
from 32 bits, this will be the least of our problems.

Here's an updated patch:

--------------------
aix.c: Avoid memory overrun.  Don't assume logical sector size <= 512B

From: Jim Meyering <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

* libparted/labels/aix.c (struct AixLabel): Remove definition.
(aix_label_magic_get, aix_label_magic_set): New functions.
(read_sector): New function.
(aix_probe): Rewrite not to use the above, and not a static buffer.
(aix_clobber): Likewise.
Also, rather than PED_ASSERT'ing that aix_probe returns 1,
simply return 0 if aix_probe returns fails.
(ped_disk_aix_init): Remove assertion, now that AixLabel is gone.
