file transfer from USB digital camera freezes

[Dan Lenski <lenski@umd.edu>]

Hi,
I'm running a 2.4.22 kernel and using the usb-storage module to access
my Olympus C740 digital camera.

I can mount it and view the directories just fine, but when I try to
copy more than ~3 photos from it to the hard drive, it freezes.  It does
this whether I use cp or nautilus or whatever.  It just stalls and the
copy never finishes, and the data transfer light on the camera goes off.

Does anyone know how to correct this problem?  Some hardware information
is below.  Thanks!
