Yeah -- you're probably right. That's the reason I refused to do the
automatic unlock when it was originally suggested. We are fairly good about
aborting a mount attempt if it really doesn't look like a JFFS2 partition,
but if you have the partitioning wrong so that the range we try to mount
includes some JFFS2 _and_ something important, that's still going to break.
