I am also thinking of moisture issues with thawing of the film. With mottled
results, it gets me thinking moisture getting into the roll.

The only deterioration I've heard of relating to film stored in a 
freezer is fogging of very fast film from background radiation. I 
assume this shows up as an even fog. (Not a problem with my freezer 
full of Tech Pan.)
