Invalid geometry not handled well.

[John Robson]

Don't know how big my drive is - I want to create a partition over all
of it:

(parted) mkpart
Partition type?  [primary]?
File system type?  [ext2]? xfs
Start? 1
End?
End? 9999999999999999999999999999999999
You found a bug in GNU Parted.  Please email a bug report to
address@hidden containing the version (1.6.15), and the following
message:

Assertion (start < geom->end) at parted.c:253 in function
_grow_over_small_freespace() failed.
Ignore/Cancel?


I expected to see "Too big, max size is...."
