Thanks Oleg,

Unfortunately I do not have the skills to debug the usb.c driver.:-(

From what I can tell:

1. It occurs on a 32bit Intel version of Suse 9.2
2. If you turn off the hotplugging and mount the USB
mass storage devices manually, it all works fine. It is
quite inconvenient if you move these devices around.

There seems to be a separate problem with mounting USB memory mass 
storage devices (Pretec 128 MB). Ok if formatted with say ext2, but not
MSDOS (cant find superblock on mounting the device). In contrast, my 
compact flash reader is OK. Have not really got to the bottom of this 
problem.
