I never encountered this problem again (I will have a new chance this week-end during a 4.4R to 4.5R upgrade. This time I will make a backup before :-)). Anyway, I recovered nearly all of my data on the lost partition, although something else had been screwed (maybe in the partition boot sector) apart from the partition entry. I still think that having Fdisk modify only partition entries which have changed would be the way to go. Just my 2c. Have a nice day !
