Everytime I nftl_format a 72MB DoC2000, it core dumps:

# ./nftl_format /dev/mtd0 114688

$Id: nftl_format.c,v 1.19 2002/05/01 10:59:04 dwmw2 Exp $
Phase 1. Checking and erasing Erase Zones from 0x0001c000 to 0x03c1c000
         Checking Zone #7682 @ 0x3c04000: Block not 0xff after erase
Skipping bad zone (RWE test failed) #7682 @ 0x3c04000
         Checking Zone #7683 @ 0x3c06000Segmentation fault


So far, I've wasted 2 72MB DoC2000.  Has anyone seen this behavior or
successfully nftl_format a large DoC2000 such as 72MB?  I formatted the 48MB
with the same nftl_format program and it worked fine.  This is mtd 20030307.
