Looks like you should be using 0x20000. 0x10000 is fine but triggers 
harmless messages about 'Empty block at 0x.... '. I think you were using 
0x40000 before which would have caused problems.

The other problem still remains, and isn't related, though...

The hardware driver seems broken -- it's returning success but not actually 
reporting that it's written any data. What driver, what version?
