I'm using the library routines that came with my C compiler.  I have
heard others using the AN554 code.

What is the problem, specifically?

That depends.

Smaller pull ups can pull the bus lines high faster when there high
parasitic capacitance (like from long wires).  But they use more
power.

I recommend starting with a guess on bus capacitance, choose
the pull ups for your bus speed and supply voltage, then checking the
rise times with an oscilloscope to make sure the rise times are OK.

A typical example: for standard mode (100 kbps), 5V levels, and
100pF bus capacitance, you'll need 8 kOhms maximum.  Faster speed
or more parasitic capacitance will require smaller pullups.
