I changed the TeleGPS firmware so that it just keeps appending data to a
single log buffer instead of the separate flight buffers present in our
flight computers. There is 2MB of storage on the board, of which 64kB is
used to store configuration parameters, leaving 1984kB of space for the
log.

I did this because several fliers noticed that simply power cycling the
board a couple of times while testing things would "fill up" all
available log space on the device, leaving it unable to log data for the
actual flight.

Right, there should be only a single "flight" on the device at any time.

Given the above description, do you think the firmware is doing
something wrong?

I'm thinking of how I might change the ground software to take the
single log and split it into sensible "flights"; with GPS date
information, I should be able to identify sections of the log that are
close together in time.
