This is fixed.  For better or worse, the sd53c8xx driver
truncates very large writes (like an entire kernel!).  It returns
the correct short write count, but format wasn't checking
for short writes.

Now disk/format breaks the write into 8k chunks to be
nicer to the disk subsystem, and watches for short writes.

Update is on sources, along with new binaries.
