Ed, Just for reference, on slink (fdisk v2.9g) I get the output shown below, and I've never seen fdisk NOT work this way. It also works this way on my potato installation, but the version I have there is 2.9r I believe. At any rate, it's not v2.9w version like you have - I have not updated potato is quite a while.
