Part of the trouble may be related to problems in the SCSI stack which have
been fixed in 3.0-rc2 (I think).  Can you test using that kernel or a later
version?

Alan's probably right. I've been using -rc2 (and now rc3) kernels recently and 
have not experienced the problem again. In fact, this morning I've been 
transferring files from the machine that crashed to a netbook via a USB stick. 
The stick has been plugged in and unplugged several times and it has worked 
flawlessly.

I think this bug entry can be closed. If, in the unlikely event that I get the 
crash again, I'll open a new bug and refer back to this one.

Thanks
