I don't think so. That wasn't added till v1.23, in March 2002.

The -e option takes only numbers; the defaults in the help text do seem
to imply otherwise -- I should probably fix that. But even if I _did_
fix it to understand KiB/MiB, you're actually telling it above that you
want an erasesize of 256000 bits :)

Try '-e 262144' or '-e 0x40000'
