Thanks for the testing.

Although it was definitely a bug (ie. unintended code flow), I would have 
expected this to be benign because a file is resized to zero before it is 
deleted, meaning that there should not be any chunks to be soft deleted.

I'm still going to investigate a bit further because I'm still scratching my 
head a bit here as to why that should happen on yaffs2 partitions.
