That's why I added the '-p' option to mkfs.jffs2 many moons ago. It's not 
quite the same as the others are seeing though -- if you look closer at 
their messages, the words on the flash that JFFS2 is complaining about 
aren't all 0x1A1A and aren't at the end of the image; they're at the 
beginning.
