NAK.

This corrupts the file system, as set_fatent_value(...) has:

	switch (mydata->fatsize) {
	case 32:
		bufnum = entry / FAT32BUFSIZE;
		offset = entry - bufnum * FAT32BUFSIZE;
		break;
	case 16:
		bufnum = entry / FAT16BUFSIZE;
		offset = entry - bufnum * FAT16BUFSIZE;
		break;
	default:
		/* Unsupported FAT size */
		return -1;
	}

Kind regards,

Stefan
