I discussed this Frank briefly in private emails, but no resolution.
/var/log/messages contains this:

May 20 20:40:18 mhrichter kernel: usb 1-5: new high speed USB device
using ehci_hcd and address 76
May 20 20:40:18 mhrichter kernel: usb 1-5: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

However, I tried this again today, using my card reader, and here's
what shows up in /var/log/messages:

This time I tried to mount /dev/sde ('cuz it's a SD or MMC card, not a
CF or SM card), and it still hung.

Still no luck....
