[parted-devel] fix for segfault in 1.7.1

[Andrew Gaffney]

Over in Gentoo-land, we were seeing a segfault when reading partition 
information. The maintainer of the parted ebuild (John N. Laliberte) came up 
with a patch[1] to fix it.

Apparently, a pointer was being used without being assigned. People who compiled 
parted with --enable-debug wouldn't encounter this, since it *was* assigned 
inside the PED_ASSERT statement. This patch assigns a value to the pointer 
outside of the PED_ASSERT.
