I fat fingered something once and somehow wound up with two partitions that
overlaped and eventually caused a lot of system errors, forcing a complete
reinstallation of the whole system.

When I reported it as a bug in cfdisk, I was informed that is should allow
you to make such mistakes and not even warn you because that was "freedom."
When I told them I was pretty sure that fdisk wouldn't let me, and I knew
that M$'s FDISK wouldn't, they got real mad.

That was when cfdisk went bye-bye.  ;)
