Hi, 

I am currently testing the patch on 2.6.24.2 (as a result of
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2008-March/021024.html),
and so far it seems to at least cure the symptoms, as in: The partition
does not "fill up" any more so far. 
But: For later production use I would certainly prefer a patch that also
dwmw2 agrees being a cure to the _cause_, not just the symptoms.
Any suggestions?

Greetings . . . Martin
