fdisk (8) also has this to say:
BUGS:
"There are several *fdisk programs around. Each has its problems
and strengths. Try them in the order cfdisk, fdisk, sfdisk. (Indeed,
cfdisk is a beautiful program that has strict requirements on the
partition tables It accepts, and produces high quality
partition tables. Use it if you can. fdisk is a buggy program that
does fuzzy things - usually it happens to produce reasonable results.
Its single advantage is that it has some support for BSD disk labels
and other non-DOS partition tables. Avoid it if you can. sfdisk is
for hackers only - the user interface is terrible, but it is more
correct than fdisk and more powerful than both fdisk and cfdisk.
Moreover, it can be used noninteractively.)"
