Hi,

Test bases on commit: 1c659d5cc6830c6f4f26660e9049582afbad3fd3 maint: 
avoid new warning/error with gcc-4.8.0 20130105.

This issue is caused by integer overflows in libparted/labels/dvh.c, 
line 416, 417:
......

416         pt->pt_nblks = PED_CPU_TO_BE32 (part->geom.length);
417         pt->pt_firstlbn = PED_CPU_TO_BE32 (part->geom.start);

......

A unsigned int was return calling PED_CPU_TO_BE32, while it's assigned 
to pt->pt_nblks(int type), overflow may occurs if it's a magnitude value 
like: 4294967295.
This overflow only can be observed when run test case 
t4100-dvh-partition-limits.sh on BE platforms like MIPS, when the 
"WORDS_BIGENDIAN" macro is defined.
Attached patch is going to fix it.

the best,
thank you
