and the OS - very little margin of error. The FLASH directory structure
and file structure required enough RAM for the dosFs cache that one last

FAT file system).

Quota management, anyone ? So it actually ran out of RAM, not flash
space, due to large fat ?
In any case, i woulda thought that it would have given a low memory or
low disk warning beforehand ...
