 When unmounting a usb key after transferring a single written file to it,
 it thrashed for a bit, the usb light stayed on, and it didn't unmount.
 The first time the unmount was tried, it simply failed to unmount; sugar
 worked normally.  The second time, sugar slowed down dramatically
 afterwards.  Other activities running were browse and the camera.

 I was able to drop into a terminal to run top, but wasn't able to switch
 back; it took a minute to recognize ctrl-alt-f4, and sugar slowed to a
 halt after drawing the frame and nothing else.

 Cruzer micro 1GB on a B4/1442.  Christoph D. suggests he's seen something
 similar on an MP machine last week.
