Comment(by skliarie):

 The "echo 5000000 > sd_max_clk" worked for me when the card was mostly
 empty. Once I started filling it up, is started locking up again. I then
 emptied the SD and now again it takes lots of writes to lock up the card
 (but it still locks up eventually).

 I guess this has something to do with nature of SD media that needs to
 move blocks around so it would be able to erase a full block.
