Yeah, I've been leaving some of the stuff out while doing some of these 
builds, to keep size down for faster flashing.

I've found 2 possible patchsets out there which might be related to 
this problem -- one is a patch of RMK's for the memory manager itself, 
the other is a patch to the JFFS2 driver.  The RMK patch didn't solve 
Albert's problem, but we didn't get a chance to try the other.  I've 
posted http://www.hughes-family.org/craig/root_fs_arm.350-test which 
includes both patches -- if it works for you guys, then I'll check it 
in to SVN.
