assertion failure (160GB HD, single FAT32 resize to 110GB, extern USB drive)

[Sebastian Seifert]

Hello,

parted asked me to report an assertion failure, which happenened while
trying to resize a 160GB FAT32 partition on a 160Gb external USB drive
to 110GB.

My partition table:

eden:/mnt# fdisk -l /dev/sda

Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
   /dev/sda1               1       19457   156288321    c  W95 FAT32
   (LBA)

My parted session:

eden:/mnt# parted /dev/sda
