issue with eraseall

I am using the MTD stuff with a Samsung NAND chip and all is going well, except that I had to change a line in the eraseall program. As it turns out the clean marker written by the eraseall program puts sizeof( struct jffs2_unknown_node ) [12 bytes] into the totlen element. When jffs2 tries to mount the now blank partition, the cleanmarker check fails because the value is not 8.
In my implementation I just changed the value written by eraseall to be 8.
The offending pieces of code are:
util/eraseall.c:84
fs/jffs2/wbuf.c:671-675
Is there a better place to post this information?
Thanks,
Earl Manning
