>Description:
Installing from an ISO created with make release from 2010-06-29, in the sysinstall partition editor, if you use G to specify a partition size, then any subsequent partitions created with the number of blocks for the size use the previous partition's size.

I discovered this by installing a box with a 1G /, 2G swap, 2G /tmp, 2G /var and then using the default number of blocks for /usr, and ended up with a 2G
/usr.  My initial reaction to this was I had typod in using sysinstall (The disk filled up in use and that's when I discovered I had a 2G /usr) but after trying a reinstall I discovered it's actually caused by sysinstall using the wrong size.
