 Fixed.

 I'd like to review all fdisk/ code in the next release. Almost all
 [cs]fdisk bug reports are about data types. Some parts of code also
 need refactoring, we don't have regression test, ... Volunteers? ;-)

 Good point. The "long long" is a generic problem in fdisk/ code
 (something is an original util-linux code, something is from one very
 old Suse patch).

 I have added a note about "off_t" to TODO file. Now is probably too
 late for so invasive patches.


 Thanks Mike!
