The resizing test using the parted git repository (May 1st, 2010) has 
completed 99,999 iterations successfully.  This concludes the test.  The 
problem with "failure to inform kernel of partition changes" did not 
occur during the test.  Based on this testing it would appear that this 
next parted version will be at least, if not more robust than version 
2.2 with respect to this problem.
