Stepahn I found and ??corrected?? a problem, though I don't know it is 100% 
yet. THis is in cvs. 

At best du only provides an estimate and does not account for various other 
overheads (eg. bad blocks, reserved blocks). statfs() , as used by 'df', 
gives a better indicator of free space.

Stephan: please try the new yaffs_fs and see if this helps.
