This listing doesn't show that they partitions actually _overlap_, only
that the "cylinder 31" is split between the two.  (Note that this
cylinder calculation is really just arbitrary, based on based on the
logical heads/sectors geometry assigned to the disk)

Running "fdisk -l -u /dev/sda" should show you that the two partitions
don't actually share any sectors....
