bug in parted 1.2.9

Hi,

  First in the life I tried  parted , and what I see :    
  "You found a bug in GNU Parted." :))  Anyway much better than a destroyed 
partition :).

  So, 
  the command was:

(parted) resize 7 6038 7890
You found a bug in GNU Parted.  Please email a bug report to address@hidden 
containing the version (1.2.9), and the following message:
Assertion (part->geom.end <= ext_part->geom.end) at disk_dos.c:1005 in function
msdos_align_partition() failed.
Ignore Cancel ?      


My partition table (from cfdisk):
   hda1        Boot       Primary   Win95 FAT32                     2146.80
   hda5                   Logical   Linux ext2                      1793.12
   hda6                   Logical   Win95 FAT32                     2097.45
   hda7                   Logical   Linux ext2                      1941.17
   hda4                   Primary   Linux ext2                      1225.57
                          Primary   Free Space                        32.91
 

or from fdisk:
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1123 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
 
   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *         1       261   2096451    b  Win95 FAT32
/dev/hda3           262       970   5695042+   5  Extended
/dev/hda4           971      1119   1196842+  83  Linux
/dev/hda5           262       479   1751053+  83  Linux
/dev/hda6           480       734   2048256    b  Win95 FAT32
/dev/hda7           735       970   1895638+  83  Linux      


In case you very need  I can send you exact partition locations 
using disk editor for DOS. 

I wanted to resize hda7 while it was unmounted; 

WHY there is no option to use CYLINDERS for "start" and "end" parameters of 
resize ??
instead of megabytes ???

Best regards,
Sergey
