Best guess would be this:

	if ((long)size % erase_size) {

Someone passing an erase_size of 0 would indeed trigger an exception.
Fix would be something like this:

-	if ((long)size % erase_size) {
+	if (!erase_size || (long)size % erase_size) {

I haven't touched the code is nearly two decades.  If somebody else
feels like sending a patch and gathering all the glory, please be my
guest!
