It's stupid to take it that personally. That state of YAFFS is exactly
what's giving open source its bad name. I do push not because I have
something against Charles but because I want it to work. I wouldn't touch it
at all but my supervisors want it in our product that we had to ship day
before yesterday due to lack of alternatives.

Here is a different view of that bug, now from mounting it with mount (root
is on NFS). It crashes at exactly the same place in yaffs_GutsInitialise().
And BTW, that was not a rant. That was just a facts constantation. I'd like
you guys to read it and think it over. There are some bugs named there and
their possible causes. And no, it is not a good idea to cast something like
yaffs_PackedTags2 pointer to (__u8 *)...
