I didn't have any problem when I ran the same test on a 128MB small page
NAND.
I am using the same lower-level driver and the yaffs2 source on both
Small Page NAND and Large Page NAND.

One other thing is that if I ran the write (copy) test instead of the
overwrite test, I didn't see this problem
on a Large Page NAND.

Do you still think it is a lower-level driver problem?
