Whoops, I sent the emails at the end of the day and forgot to make a PR
for it - https://github.com/bcl/parted/pull/9

Oh crud. Thanks for catching that. Looking at the t3000 test with an eye
towards that it looks like it doesn't actually confirm the resize was
successful, just that it didn't fail.

I'll see if I can come up with an alternative way to test that (and make
sure it really worked).
