this disk was obviously partitioned with parted, parted will do screwy
things like this, because you will say 'make this partition 4Gig' and it
will make it EXACTLY 4Gig but partitions must start on an even boundry
(i dont rem exact limit) so you get 'spots' like this... pdisk doesnt do
this, so it isnt a problem... 

also pdisk has problems with HD's larger then 138gigs, and other bugs on
large disks (i have a 20gig it thinks is a 8gig, and a 40gig it thinks
has 40TB (!) of space)
