We have also seen this "4k zeros" issue for some time. I never found out 
was was happening because the issue was suddenly no longer reproducible. 
:-(

In our case, though, we didn't have NAND flash, but JFFF2 with serial NOR 
flash. So I would guess that this is not a NAND problem.

Which file system do you run? Is it JFFS2?

Best regards,
Thomas
