Summary: Assertion (metadata_length > 0) at dos.c:2011 [...] failed.

Initial Comment:
I tried to resize an ext3 partition, using the latest development version on 
Debian Sarge. It gracefully refused to do, saying "Assertion (metadata_length > 
0) at dos.c:2011 [...] failed.". fsck afterwards didn't report errors.
Parted believes i found a bug. The FAQ at
http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/faq.html says it was fixed some time ago.
Leslie P. Polzer at
http://www.mail-archive.com/address@hidden/msg01772.html says this bug
was fixed in 1.7rc.

I have included the output you reqire at the bug-report page and a full copy of 
the console output when trying to resize.

Best Regards
--Jakob

Can we have the output of

  /sbin/sfdisk -l -x -uS /dev/hdc

please?

I updated parted to 1.7.0, problem persists.

Some additional info that may be useful:
parted-1.7.0 source package, configured --without-readline
