DMS rounding error

[Se Li]

When Stellarium displays a number as degrees, minutes and seconds, a rounding error occurs if the number of degrees is negative, minutes are zero and seconds approach 60. For example, check the galactic latitude of the sun as seen from Berlin, Germany on 8 March 2014 (today) at 18:22:15 local time (UTC+0100). It is −58°00'59.9''a few seconds earlier, but the value is now displayed as −58°4294967295'0.00'' and a few seconds later it is −58°01'00.0''. I've observed this for other objects at other times, but only for a short time as a values move from −x°00'59.9" towards −x°01'00.0" (for a positive integer x).

Ah! I thought there was something fishy about this section, but didn't look close enough. :-) There's still what I think is a minor flaw: in lines 216 and 221, a floating point value is assigned to unsigned int variables. Not sure if the conversion happens at compile or at run time.
