[ECOS] JFFS2 Garbage Collection Error? (NO! rbtree.c bug)

It has to do with the eCos C-library which only buffers 255 bytes of
data. PAGE_CACHE_SIZE is defined as 4 kilobytes. I use the same solution
as yours (which should be probably ok according to the response I got
from David then), and have had no more problems since.

I would be great if it could be confirmed that this is indeed a/the
correct solution, 'cause, just like you, I am not really sure about what
I have been doing there.
