Bug 708601

Description of problem:

The following existing partition table drove gparted mad while installing fedora's xfce livecd, using the custom layout partitioning interface.

What I did was:
- Delete sda1, sda5, sda4, sda3
- Create new swap partition at the "end" of the device, use all available space
- Instead of beeing assigned sda3, the new partition was sda2, ntfs suddenly behind it. both sda1 and sda2 had 80GB -> larger than the device is actually.

/dev/sda5       188420096   205162495     8371200   83  Linux

Partition table entries are not in disk order

In the end it crashed in libparted:
