@Lothar: Probably WinCE with a copy operation between flash and SD is 
not reliable as synchronous as opposed dd command in the previous mail.

dd is sync when: dd if=/dev/mtd... of=/dev/mmc...

dd is async when:

# dd if=/dev/mtd of=/mnt/somewhere/file1 &
# dd if=/mnt/somewhere/file2 of=/dev/mmc &

Or even the worst scenario:

# dd if=/dev/mtdX of=/dev/null &
# dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/mmcX &
# dd if=/dev/mmcX of=/dev/null &
# dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/mtdX &

Just my .2 cents.
