If end is last-used rather than first-free, then so do partitions 7 and 8. I think the table had been manually edited with cfdisk to create those partitions, and then Linux installed into the existing partitions, but I'm not certain - it's been a long time.
This doesn't necessarily mean that the partitions actually overlap though, it just means that the partitions don't start and end on a cylinder boundary. I think this is what the + symbol means. They may well end halfway through a cylinder and the next one start on the following sector, still in the middle of the same cylinder. To know exactly, you need the detailed partition table rather than this summary printout. Is anyone interested in the 512 byte bootsector images of before and after if I can still find them?
