Of <2GB cards, I had heard of only one 1GB card dying and that was with a very early internal Chinook kernel version so it could have been also something else besides bug 1024 (like broken test kernel or otherwise broken card). The bug wasn't related to card size per se, it was related to how much power the card requires from the MMC port, what it does after it has acknowledged receiving the data written to it and how it reacts if it gets less power while not being used. It's just that the larger cards in general use more power (and are more fragile?), but that differs a *lot* between different cards/models of even same size. - Eero
