Script mode mkpart(fs) constraint failing.

[Kenneth MacDonald]

Consider the following partition layout

#    Start    End
1    0Mb      54Mb

and the following request

parted --script /dev/sda mkpart p ext2 50 100

Then parted 1.8.8 would say the closest it could manage was to start the
new partition at 54Mb and ask if it's OK and exit as a failure.

But since we're running it in script more we want it to go ahead.

I've knocked up a very quick patched version which we're deploying to
fix this problem.

Cheers,

Kenny.
