This is a source of confusion for many users.

Realistically, the build classifications are largely irrelevant and don't bare much resemblance to their English definitions whatsoever.
Stable doesn't imply stability, unstable doesn't imply instability, and unusable...well, you get the picture.

The classifications are explained on the main page:
Stable: Rockbox runs well on these players, has a complete manual and is supported by the installer
Unstable: Rockbox runs on these players, but is incomplete, less usable or has problems that limit it to advanced users
Unusable: Work has begun on porting Rockbox to these players, but much remains before they are usable

The first two are fairly accurate, the latter, not so much (it would be accurate if one were to replace "usable" with "{un}stable")

Also available via the main page, but not immediately obvious, commits since last release.

This most certainly should not be possible, but the past has shown us that this can be the case. The fact that you are using a release build makes this a distinct possibility. A lot of bugs have been fixed in the past 18 months, including the one known and reproducible instance of a specific theme causing USB instability.

Updating is highly advised.

KastenKopf:
Saint - Thank you very much for clearing things up. I'll install the latest dev build then.

[Saint]:
Not a problem.

Do let us know how you get on.

Just try it.

I'm running on Windows XP SP3 but otherwise, my experience with USB storage & freezing is exactly the same as the OP.  I'm not sure what build is currently installed but I've tried them all .. release, dev, and old trying to solve the problem. 

Because the problem didn't always exist, I had hope that reverting to an older build would solve the problem but no dice.  Perhaps it's a combination of things with firmware version being one of them.  Not being technical, I don't know about these things.

All of that said, I've not specifically tested the 'Auto Update = Off' theory and will do so later today.  I'm fairly certain that my auto update setting has always been off but it's worth a try.
