bug in mmls 3.01

[. .-28]

On my disk. I have 3 primary and one extended partition.  In the
extended partition, I have multiple logical volumes.  When looking at
the space between logical partitions, mmls version 2.52 shows 1 sector
for the partition table on one line and 62 sectors unallocated on the
next line.  This is normal.

However, version 3.01 shows one line (meta) for the partition table,
but no line for the unallocated area.  Offsets look strange too (lines
10,11).

Thanks.  I fixed a bug in the output.  I changed the notion of  
Unallocated in 3.0 so that it includes all areas of the disk that are  
not explicitly mentioned in a partition table. So, partition tables  
are now grouped into the "Unallocated" space (i.e. the difference in  
line 07).

The reason for the missing Unallocated is because I was not marking  
the Extended Partition in 09 as Meta and therefore mmls thought that  
the space between the partitions was allocated by that partition  
(because of the design of DOS partitions).

The fix is checked into the trunk.
