Arduino "Wire" i2c not compatible with SMBus Block Read ... is it?

It seems the point where the code hangs depends on the I2D device address used.

With address 0x00 the code hangs after this:

ret = i2c_readNak();        // read one byte

With a random address it hangs after this:

i2c_write(0x00);                        // read address = 0

And with the supposed correct address (0x90) almost all the code is executed excepted the last line:

i2c_stop();

Also, no value is returned by the I2C slave anyway (the ret variable remains without value).
