I received the following error out of yaffs:

**>> yaffs: getBlockInfo block 0 is not valid
==>> yaffs bug: fs/yaffs2/yaffs_guts.h 808
Obj 0 header type is illegal value 0x0
Obj 0 header mismatch objectId 1

It appears as if it is somehow getting a chunkID of 0, which looks like 
it is invalid. Having a look, this comes from yaffs_UpdateObjectHeader, 
where it gets the previous chunk id. I'm not sure how this comes out as 
zero, but there is a check there for >= 0, if I change it to > 0 then 
this issue goes away. Since a chunkID of 0 is guaranteed to give 
yaffs_ReadChunkWithTagsFromNAND grief, I can't see how this hurts 
things, although it may be masking the real problem.

See patch below for details
