Thanks. I think the issue is that the users who run into this have
broken partition extended tables, e.g. we error out in the function
part_table_probe_msdos_extended() and thus return NULL for the extended
partition table. We then stuff a NULL pointer into the entries list and
that's causing the crash. This patch should fix at least the crashes.

What is the impact of broken partition tables for those users? Well,
only that they'll miss some volume.partition.* properties. No biggie at
this point in the game. We should probably report somewhere that the
partition table is detected as being broken. Hmm... will think about
that.

Anyway, let me know if this works. Thanks.
