Bug Report using Parted on RHEL v4

[Rik Herrin]

Hi, I was trying to create new partitions and after
creating the new partition, would run the command:
partprobe
so that I wouldn't be forced to reboot.  I got the
following strange error:

"A bug has been detected in GNU parted.  Please email
a bug report to address@hidden containing the
version (1.6.19) and the following message:Assertion
((C * heads + H) * sectors + S == A) at disk_dos.c:582
in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed."

As mentioned in the subject, I am currently running
RHEL v4 with version 1.6.19-1.  The output of parted
/dev/hda is listed below.  Thank you for your time.  

address@hidden ~]# parted /dev/hda print
