calc, in #ubuntu-bugs,refering to this bug report said that, "colin
watson or evan d is the most likely person to be able to fix it." On
irc, apparently colin is known as "cjwatson" and evan is known as
"evand." calc said that I could message the two developers.  calc also
said that I could test their custom spin before the fix is made to the
8.04.1 release.

One more thing: The partition program used for the Anaconda installer
for Fedora 8 and Fedora 9 preview release didn't detect any partitions.

Therefore, here is a list of apps that do NOT recognize my partitions:
+ Ubiquity
+ Partition Magic 8.0
+ GParted
+ Fedora 8 + 9 Anaconda installer

Here is a list of apps that DO recognize all my partitions:
+ Slackware 12 installer
+ fdisk -l 
+ Nautilus (or what ever automatically mounts the hard discs in the Hardy 
Ubuntu LiveCD
+ Windows XP
+ TestDisk

btw: good research arminbw. =D  It appears as though this bug has been
around since 2004.  Let's squash it once and for all.
