Yes, that is true.  The message appears on a windows system.

I am using 2.6.22 kernel version on the device.  I use
modprobe g_file_storage file='vfat-parition-address' removable=y stall=1

Once the vfat partition is mounted on windows, I just drag and copy
the file from windows
to the device.  This does not happen every single time.  It happens at
random intervals
(maybe once in ten times).  The device is not workable until it is
reset completely.
