bug in parted

[Damian Menscher]

No claim as to having a valid partition table to begin with, but I'd
have expected a message saying so, rather than a request to file a
bug report....

Using /dev/sda
(parted) print 
You found a bug in GNU Parted.  Please email a bug report to address@hidden containing the version (1.6.21), and the following message:

In the off-chance it matters, this was on a 3.3TB scsi disk.
