Hi Joel,

did it again as root, in the parted build directory, and got:
        echo n | ./parted ---pretend-input-tty testfile \
        "mklabel gpt mkpart primary ext3 1 -1"
Warning: The existing disk label on 
/.th/thsrc/archive/gnu/parted/parted-1.9.0-build-linux-gnu/parted/testfile will 
be destroyed and all data on this disk will be lost. Do you want to continue?
/home/pcl321/peb/archive/gnu/parted/parted-1.9.0-build-linux-gnu/parted/.libs/lt-parted:
 invalid token: mkpart
Yes/No? n

Note: /home/pcl321/peb/archive -> /.th/thsrc/archive

The above was with parted-1.9.0; for parted-git I still get:
        echo n | ./parted ---pretend-input-tty testfile \
        "mklabel gpt mkpart primary ext3 1 -1"
Error: Can't have the end before the start!

However, for parted-git and doing as in the test case:
        echo n | ./parted ---pretend-input-tty testfile \
        "mklabel gpt mkpart primary ext3 1s -1s"
