It is actually worse... The bug triggers on any partition with sizes
between:

	 127 and  129 Mb
	 254 and  258 Mb
	 508 and  516 Mb
	1018 and 1030 Mb
	2035 and 2061 Mb

It's a VERY serious bug and Microsoft deserves a serious flaming for
not telling us for more than a year! Yes, they knew about it one year
ago!

Vesselin
