bug#31111: Partition table wrongly identified as "atari"

I quickly looked through the atari_probe routine in the Atari patch code, and I may have found the logic error. At the bottom:

     } /* no XGM so try ICD */
+         else if (atr_part_valid (&table.icd_part[0], rs_hd_size)
+ && atr_part_known (&table.icd_part[0], atr_known_icd_pid)) {
+               for (i = 1; i < N_ICD; i++) {
+ if (atr_part_trash (&table.icd_part[i], rs_hd_size))
+                               return 0;
+               }
+       }
+
+       return 1;
+ }

Correct me if I'm wrong (I know little about partitioning and less about atari disks), but it looks if the partition (or whatever) does not check out as "XGM" and either atr_part_valid or atr_part_known returns false, the routine will return 1 (meaning: this checks out as an atari disk).

In order to reach this part, only a few things need to check out (in the top part of the routine): three id values need to be alphanumeric and a couple of sizes need to be realistic (i.e., in my case, between 0 and 500G). That does not seem like something that can never happen by coincidence for a non-atari disk.

I would guess it may be a good idea to add another "else return 0;" line so that if the disk is neither "XGM" nor "ICD" (whatever that may mean), it is not detected as atari disk.

I have the neither the stomach nor the means or the time to look into this but if I can assist in any way please let me know.
