Problem: 51MB partition max size on jffs2

Hello all,

I've run into a strange problem and I wonder if any of you have seen
this and perhaps understand it better.

I've got a Toshiba 128MB Smart Card in my embedded system and I wrote a
custom nand driver to support it. I have discovered that I cannot
mount a jffs2 partition larger than 51MB on the card (so at this point
I have two 51MB partitions and 1 26MB partition). Trying to mount a
larger partition yields a less than helpful error message from mount.
I've tried adding printk statements to the jffs2 code, but none of them
get hit during the errant mount process.

So... is 51MB a valid jffs2 limitation? If so, why?
