I have changed the calculation of the maximum of a harddisk that can be used 
from a quite aggressive calculation to a very defensive way. I often had 
problems with partitions that on some machines fit but on some others are 
half a cylinder too big or so.
Someday I had enough of that and I changed to calculation. Since then every 
now and then people complain about some wasted MB but at least the 
partitioning never fails because of not enough space anymore.

That "100%" does not work is not so nice though. I have to take a look at 
it.
