Sadly the script that reliably reproduced the issue was was lost
with my previous work root drive. I was using the prescribed
directions for creating MBRs per the gpart manpage, so it shouldn't be
that hard to reproduce. Things got hairy at the end so I also started
mixing fdisk -BIq at the time along with gpart create -S GPT.
Bottom line is that I guess I'm on the 'hook' for coming up with
the repro case again *sigh*..
Thanks,
