System freezes while I/O usage on Card Reader

[Silviu Grijincu]

Copying from or pasting to the Ricoh R5C822 card reader makes Nautilus unusable for the time the transfer is made.(the mouse freezes)

I ran the instructions from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingRemovableDevices and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHal
I changed the suggested package to hal, from nautilus, and changed the status to new (from incomplete).

hal.log - obtained by running the commands from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingRemovableDevices#How%20to%20report

this is unrelated to nautilus. the whole system is slowed down when I access data from the card reader.
