The information which is stored in the sum_marker is avaiable only at 
the time when the the erase block is under closing. (it is the time when 
we store the summary infromation and we know its size)

If the eraseblock_header can be changed at that time than OK, otherwise 
it is not helpfull for summary purposes.
