[Patch] Segfault on unaligned lseek() on /dev/sdX (was: [ITP] ddrescue 1.3)

[Christian Franke]

Hi,

Cygwin 1.5.24-2 segfaults on unaligned lseek() on raw block devices with 
sector size >512 bytes.

Testcases:
$ dd skip=1000 bs=2047 if=/dev/scd0 of=/dev/null

$ ddrescue -c 1 /dev/scd0 file.iso


This is due to a fixed 512 byte buffer in fhandler_dev_floppy::lseek().
It is still present in HEAD revision.

The attached patch should fix. It should work for any sector size.
(Smoke-)tested with 1.5.24-2 (too busy to test with current CVS, sorry).

	* fhandler_floppy.cc (fhandler_dev_floppy::lseek): Fixed segfault on
	unaligned seek due to fixed size buffer.
