It is designed this way. But we are neither perfect nor can we predict every 
10e12 possibilities to produce a hidden bug.

I cannot reproduce it here. 
That's why I asked for a bainary Image of the flash content, but I received 
none until now.

We can only solve problems, which are either reproducable or which can be 
reproduced by some user supplied pattern / image. 

We all do our very best to make this code stable and reliable, but we need the 
help from _USERS_ to detect insufficiencies. That's the way open source 
software works. If we don't get the requested feedback / help we can only 
say: You got the code. Feel free to fix it.
