Partition Manager fails to add SD cards /dev/mmcblk0 to the list of
available devices

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Insert SD card into a card reader.
Confirm that it's mapped to /dev/mmcblk0
Open Partition Manager and try to find it

Actual Results:  
/dev/mmcblk0 is not presented in the list. Only /dev/sda and any other disks or USB drives connected at the time are visible.

Expected Results:  
An entry for the /dev/mmcblk0 device allowing the user to modify the card's partitions

OS: Linux 2.6.35-ARCH x86_64

Lenovo ThinkPad SL500 using the built in card reader (not a USB one that
presents cards as /dev/sdc, ect.)

lspci:
SD Host controller: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C822 SD/SDIO/MMC/MS/MSPro Host Adapter (rev 22)

/dev/mmcblk0 and /dev/mmcblk0p1 are still editable in command line tools

Confirmed

seems that the bug  lies in scanDevices() in src/core/libparted.cpp:

	QFile partitions("/proc/partitions");
	if (partitions.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly))
	{
		QRegExp rxLine("\\s*(\\d+)\\s+(\\d+)\\s+(\\d+)\\s([^0-9]+)\\s+");


that regular expression gets the list of the partitions and remove the trailing numbers, so /dev/mmcblk0 becames /dev/mmcblk which isn't a valid device name
