2.4.18 iomega 250 zip won't mount - wrong size

Hello all,

With 2.4.18 while trying to mount and mk a fs on a IOMEGA 250Meg zip drive I got.
localhost.localdomain:/# mount -t vfat /dev/hdc /mnt
hdc: The disk reports a capacity of 250640384 bytes, but the drive only handles
250609664
FAT: bogus logical sector size 8293
VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev 16:00.
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc,
       or too many mounted file systems
hdc: The disk reports a capacity of 250640384 bytes, but the drive only handles
