I've been looking at this for 1.6.x.
Can't we just comment out the ((packed)) thing, and all is well?
1-line fix?

The 1.6.x gpt code is basically a rewrite.

BTW: if we get 1.6.0 out soon (like, once gpt is fixed, tommorrow is
fine by me...), then is there a good reason to fix 1.4.x gpt as
well?  Since the code is so different, it's probably not worth
the effort to maintain both gpt implementations...

(BTW: what do you think of the 1.6 implementation?)

Thanks,
Andrew
