USB and FLoppy problems?

Is it just me experiencing problems lately with USB and mount_msdosfs ?
When I mount my USB drives, which are fat32, I experience bus stalls and
hangs of various types in the usb output. Sometimes complete system
freezes. It does not matter if it is the built in usb 1 controller or an
add in usb 2 controller. In addition just last night I tried to mount a
floppy on /dev/fd0 to run a mysql dump script I keep there and
mount_msdosfs errored, I'm starting to wonder if the two problems are
related. The error when mounting the floppy is new but the usb problems
crept in while I was at 5.4 before a source upgrade to 6.0. Prior to that
usb worked fine. Mounting the floppy worked fine until a few days ago,
right now I'm at 6.0-RELEASE-p5 and trying to figure out where the problem
lies.
