Black and white film will last indefinately in cold
storage.  However, automatic frost-free freezers will
lessen the life span as opposed to a straight cold
freezer.  I have a huge amount of pan-x (expired in
'82) that still gives great results.  What you may
experience is minimal fogging every decade, but much
less than you would expect.  As it is black and white,
fogging really doesn't matter.  Michael Smith and
Paula Chamlee do this with film pulled by Kodak in the
early 90's.
