If you have a card, 'working' is defined by the ability to create 128Mb swapfile on it, and copy a file of at least 100Mb to it.
Surely the definition of "working" is defined by the ability to copy 4GB (or whatever the card capacity) of data to the card and read it all back without any errors?

Could it be that some cards were reported as working because small amounts of data could be copied OK, but then beyond a certain point (1GB? 2GB?) these cards begin to fail? Testing with any transfer size below the total card capacity may leave room for error when announcing the card as "working".
