You're not the only one.

I've been seeing sporadic hangs of I/O to a USB2-connected external disk
enclosure connected to a newly-built system (supermicro workstation
motherboard with a westmere xeon) running oi151.  It was stable when connected
to a different motherboard (dual-core opteron), but I've retired that system.

I haven't had a chance to dig into it further -- it's only happened two or
three times in about two months, and when it happens it also clobbers keyboard
& mouse.
