It looks to me like the problem is that PED_ASSERT() is broken.  The 
code appears to be trying to use PED_ASSERT() to print an error, and 
then return 0 so things can carry on without being able to guess the 
bios geometry, but PED_ASSERT() ignores the second argument and never 
returns.

Either PED_ASSERT() needs fixed to return and execute the action 
argument, or probe_partition_for_geom() needs fixed to not use 
PED_ASSERT() for these constraint tests.
