As a hardware designer, I could've told NASA that nine out of ten of these problems are software:)As a software designer (lightweight) I am amused by the prospect that software can be repaired and rebuilt from millions of miles away.
This looks to me like a classic off-by-one error in allocating memory for the file allocation table. We shall see. Either that or they simply assumed that file memory would fill up before there were too many files for the index.

Actually, they said it was the difference between the number of files the flash could handle vs. the physical size of the files. That is: The memory isn't full, but it's out of file handles.
That's what they say... but this is the same crew that said: "ooops, we calculated in feet but programmed in meters!" (Or vice versa).
