I was worried about this too after the last time it was brought up on this 
list - and since then i haven't put any color film in the freezer! I had 
been freezing all my film for about 3-4 years now and i had never noticed 
any adverse effects that i could attribute to freezing,but i wanted to be 
safe just in case.

With the film that i still have frozen,i like to put it into the fridge,so 
as it thaws a bit more slowly,before finally taking it out to use - i think 
this might help if there is an issue with ice crystals causing the grain 
clumping. I would also make sure never to re-freeze film which has 
previously been frozen but apart from this i'm not going to fuss over it 
any more,and go back to freezing - as long as no one comes up with hard 
evidence advising against it :)
