Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary

[jim]

    I have experienced this and find it worrisome. 
Is the report bogus or true. If true, what is the 
state of the remainder of the cylinder (no other 
partition shows such overlap, I'm guessing the 
part is not used and may be the sector used by 
the MBR).
