answered your own question.
Sure, but usually the result is data loss on the stick in question, not an
OS panic. In this case however, the problem actually lies in the block
cache, since it considers any failure to write a block back to disk as
critical (which would probably bite you if a hard disk had a bad block as
well). That should probably be reworked so the error can be propagated
back to the originator of the write request, so decisions about how
critical the failure is can be made where needed.
