I tried about 25 times and had no chance to trigger the BUG().

Could you please provide a binary image of your FLASH partition, which 
triggers the BUG() ?
Reboot. Do not mount /flash and do a 
cat /dev/mtdX >flash:img
If this is NAND, you will get a bunch of "Reading without ECC is not 
recommended" warnings. Ignore them :)

Thanks.
