Well, I was getting a mount failure.  There wasn't much info other than 
that.  If you look in the latest (20021202) jffs2 build.c file, you can 
see if the kmalloc of c->blocks fails in jffs2_do_mount_fs, no debug 
message is printed.  Only a non-mem error is returned.  That is 
consistent with what I was seeing, even with the highest verbosity 
debugging on.

I made the change to use vmalloc/vfree for c->blocks and that seemd to 
fix the problem.  kmalloc is indeed limited to 128KB.  Of course, I 
made the change to the 20020819 code.  I'll try the vmalloc change with 
the latest CVS code as well and see how that holds up.
