Hmm.  If this unused slice is very tiny (less than 1% of the total capacity), 
it may be the remainder of the disk which unused due to the way the partition 
table values get rounded.

I suppose I've gotten used to only being able to fit 80 or so "real megabytes" 
onto a "100MB drive" due to this and that (1.0e6 "MB" versus 1.05e6 "MiB", 
newfs' reserved space, etc)...
