You could check out the latest version of Mark & Release.  They have
a MARKNET & RELNET (or something like that) which saves more environment
info, and is less likely to give you problems.  I find it very unusual
that MARK & RELEASE would screw up your fat, unless you released
SMARTDRV before flushing the cache.  Alternatively, switch to another
disk cacheing program that allows you to remove it from memory with
a command line switch like /U.  I think most others allow this.
