Bug Description

I recently pulled a 2GB microSD card with a complex MBR partition table out of my Chumby One (an embedded device), and put it into a USB 2.0 SD card reader on my Ubuntu 12.04 AMD64 desktop/server. When I view the disk/reader in gnome-disk-utlity, it won't let me click on certain partitions. There are also 2 other issues:
1. It Splits free space into 2 adjacent sections of free space.
2. Reports the first free space section (the last "partition" I can click on) as having a capacity of 18446744 TB (-134,217,728 bytes)

The screenshot I will attach demonstrates this. I have the last "partition" I can click on selected. Specifically, I can select only the 3 primary partitions at the beginning of the drive and the first section of free space.
