Basically, it overflows at 64kbytes, and starts reading the beginning of the chip again. If address was just one bit larger, the >> 9 later down in spi_rw (where address overflows) would turn the address into a proper word address for the read commands.
Now, this wouldn't fix 256kbyte chips as the load extended address byte command ($4d) doesn't seem to be supported at all by the USBtinyISP.
There may be a way to squeeze at least the fix for 128k chips into the tiny2313, but my compiler starts the firmware out at 8 bytes over sized before I change the type of address to uint32_t.

I've reviewed the code and I'm forced to concur. The USBTinyISP appears to be incapable of addressing memory addresses in excess of 64 KB, and while I can't be sure, it seems reasonable to suppose than it might brick the AVR chip if it attempts to write a nondeterministic value to the fuses, which could easily be located at address(es) 0, 1, 2, 3, etc...
Oh, actually I disagree about the line number. It's line 71, not 70.
Can anyone tell me if mmattice is wrong here?
