USB mass storage issue in 2.6.13

You asked for more info on the problem that USB mounted storage because 
inaccessable after an indeterminate delay. I eventually got a chance to 
reboot back to the offending kernel, and it has eventually happened 
again. I don't know when exactly, but the system has only been up 12 
days and was up 40-50 days without the issue using an earlier kernel, 
2.6.7rc1mm1nd (-mm1 + nick P patches), 2.6.10-ac10, and I don't recall 
that uptime with 2.6.13rc5git1, but I didn't see the problem pre-2.6.13.

Attached is a zip with the original dmesg and what somes out of dmesg 
-s200000 now. I'd give you the config, but it's on the disk I can no 
longer see, and I'm unlikely to reboot until the weekend, unless I must 
get to the data enough to justify a reboot while monitoring is running. 
The config hasn't changed in a while, at least not more than "make 
oldconfig" does for me.

So does sending the whole huge file without compression. The advantage
of zip is that both relevant files can be put in one archive, and that
both archive and per-file comments can be added to make it clear what
each does. I could have done a compressed tar and an explanation, but
then you have to uncompress it to read the explanation.

I didn't pick that without thinking about it, and it seems at least as
useful as anything else which comes to mind, like multiple attachments.
