Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? I didn't know it was
possible to make gpt partitions 0 sectors wide.

(parted) print
Model: ATA Samsung SSD 850 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 1000GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags:

The closest location we can manage is 1000GB to 1000GB (sectors
1953523712..1953523712).
Is this still acceptable to you?
Yes/No? No
