OK, it appears to be running, but what's this?! (gmirror)

Ok, so I found the "how to get gmirror to play nice" page, and set it up.

But, what's this??!

Gen2# bsdlabel /dev/mirror/m0s1
# /dev/mirror/m0s1:
8 partitions:
#        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
  a: 10485760       63    4.2BSD     2048 16384 28552 
  b: 10485760 10485823      swap                    
  c: 490223412       63    unused        0     0         # "raw" part, don't edit
  d: 41943040 20971583    4.2BSD     2048 16384 28552 
  e: 125829120 62914623    4.2BSD     2048 16384 28552 
  f: 83886080 188743743    4.2BSD     2048 16384 28552 
  g: 167772160 272629823    4.2BSD     2048 16384 28552 
  h: 48234496 440401983    4.2BSD     2048 16384 28552 
partition c: partition extends past end of unit
disklabel: partition c doesn't start at 0!
disklabel: An incorrect partition c may cause problems for standard system utilities

Uh, no, I didn't do that.  The original label was put there during 
system installation, and I absolutely did not offset "c"

Is this still ok, or am I asking for a (bogus) hard error some day when the 
system attempts access beyond the end of the physical disk?
