I wasn't aware that there _was_ any JFFS2 code in the 1.3.1 tree. Certainly
the symptoms you describe were present in the original eCos port from 3G Lab
-- it would never actually trigger garbage collection. I fixed it in the
code I worked on, which I _believe_ went into the 2.0 tree.

Now that 2.0 is out, with the licence change in place, we can merge the eCos
support into the master JFFS2 tree -- but the JFFS2 code has moved on since
the eCos port was last up to date, and there will be a small amount of work
required to make it build again.
