I reused the block above to test on the kernel w/ your debug patch

So let's now do the same with a fully random block:

root at thin:/# dd if=/dev/urandom of=/tmp/block.random bs=131072 count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
131072 bytes (131 kB) copied, 0.0406636 s, 3.2 MB/s

root at thin:~# flash_erase /dev/mtd4 0 1
Erasing 128 Kibyte @ 0 -- 100 % complete 

root at thin:~# nandwrite /dev/mtd4 /tmp/block.random 
Writing data to block 0 at offset 0x0

If you had the time to test the offending block on another device, did
you manage to reproduce what I get?
