I believe that is exactly it Curtis.

For the last 3 decades, it has not been a problem since every disk
partitioner has worked this way.  I have sen a few bug reports about
this recently though, and the others have reported using something
called Easeus disk partitioning software.  Have you used this?  It
would be good to confirm this is the source of the problem and I'll
see if I can't fix parted to handle it.
