It does indeed.  (Confirmed with make sizes.)

Applied.

Query: would you and Dennis like to coordinate on the general 
dismantling/replacing of the current fdisk mess?  (Basically talk to each 
other so you don't stomp on each other?)

It would be really nice if we someday had fdisk, sfdisk, and cfdisk interfaces 
to the same underlying partitioning engine.  (I can dream, can't I?)
