I found time to do some testing myself and can confirm this is the
problem patch for sharpsl as well. I don't see the problem with recent
git kernels if I apply:

http://www.rpsys.net/openzaurus/patches/mtd_revert_oob-r0.patch

which is a hack reverting the above change (only on the bits of the
kernel which sharpsl needs). I'll see if I can trim the diff down and
find the problem...
