Done, back to normal - almost. Just got do all the fiddly bits of installing some specific apps and setting soft links up etc.

Agree that jffs2 used up its spare blocks, but no crash involved - least none that i was aware of. Seemed like normal operation, just a reboot once problem had been identified.

Glad nokia left in bullet proof reflash method.

Thanks for the feedback, Hope post is of use to others who get this rather serious problem.

Going to avoid gvm for now, only tried it again because my palm reset itself. Problems come in 3's - wonder what the last one is going to be ?!
