It appears to be caused by 4f809ffec69c (gpart: add libxo support for "show" subcommand + man page updates) .
Prior to the change the size was formatted to human friendly format by `fmtsize(pp->lg_mediasize))` which in turn calls
```
humanize_number(buf, sizeof(buf), rawsz, "", HN_AUTOSCALE,
HN_B | HN_NOSPACE | HN_DECIMAL);
```,
now it is formatted with
```
xo_emit(" ({h:size/%jd})\n", (intmax_t)pp->lg_mediasize);
```
It appears that libxo does not handle well with numbers those exceed 10^12, ( 1 Terabyte in this case ).
