version 1.6.15

[eli]

Hi, I was just instructed by parted to drop an email to you. Don't know 
if it's really a bug, but here goes:

I was trying to print the partition table from an IBM drive (model 
IBM-DPTA-372050), which was pulled from an old Gateway 'running' Win98.
parted gave a few errors, then printed the table. I've copied the entire 
output, along with output of uname, if needed. See below.

Thanks,
Eli
