potential integer overflow in md.c - Mailing list pgsql-bugs

I found following expression in md.c:

  seekpos = (long) (BLCKSZ * (blocknum % ((BlockNumber) RELSEG_SIZE)));

all variables and constants are int (32-bit) and long (also very often
32-bit). In case when somebody want to change RELSEG_SIZE to value
related to 4GB and bigger chunk he can expect data overwriting.

This seek problem is on more places, however in standard compilation
chunk size is 1GB and this problem does not appear.

I'm going to fix it.
