Version: 2.33.1-0.1
Severity: important
I have created a GPT-partitioned image where the first partition
needs to start at block 64. The problem is that fdisk/sfdisk is unable to
replicate this partition layout using an sfdisk script, because the
generated script doesn't work when it's read back in.
This seems to be a problem with interpreting the "table-length" value.
It appears to be multiplied by 4 instead of divided by 4 when checking
sector limits.
