cfdisk trips on out of order logical partitions
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
cfdisk's partition parsing logic is flawed in that it assumes they are in order, so if you have out of order partitions it complains that they overlap.

I currently don't plan to fix anything in cfdisk and sfdisk. I'd like to rewrite the code to use libfdisk to share code between all the fdisks.

Note that I'm working on new cfdisk version and out-of-order partition will be definitely supported.
