Parttext formatting bad if it is a bit longer

Issue #75 wontfix
Benjamin Schindler created an issue
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. To make it easier, set a5 as the page format
2. Start with any chapter
3. add a longer text as the parttext, with multiple paragraphs, and start the part

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The parttext should start on the page with the part label and continue on the second.
The page number and old chapter number should be gone. The attached image shows the
output I'm getting which is - obviously quite bad

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
classicthesis 4.0 on linux

Please provide any additional information below.

    Hmm, the part page is usually not the place for lengthy text blocks. 
    
    \parttext offers the possibility to include a *brief* piece of information, thus, the
    quote-environment is used...however, even this is not recommended. If more text is
    required, it should be on separate pages after the part header (IMHO).
