cfdisk can not handle partition tables where the order of the logical
partitions in the disk does not follow their numbers.  For example when
/dev/hda6 is phisicaly before /dev/hda5.  In this case cfdisk prints the
message

FATAL ERROR: Bad logical partition 6: enlarged logical partitions overlap

and exits.  For such partition tables fdisk can be used instead of
cfdisk.  fdisk prints the message "Partition table entries are not in
disk order" but has no problems.
