Hi,

     I find not much issue with that, but still as a fair practice , I'll
absorb your comment in the patch. Have done the memory allocation later in
the function to avoid unnecessary freeing code. 
     And malloced with mtdInfo.writesize instead of constants , let us know
your comments. 

We can now use these utilities on 4KB devices.

Is it no problem the stack overflow in application?
How about to use malloc & free?

Thank you,

Err, isn't this ABI change which is going to break backward
compatibility and is NO-NO in Linux?
