In the camera body, at least a few months.  Post exposure, I shot some
sheet film in late May this year, went off to Russia and other areas of
Europe for work, and processed the film in late July.  It was fine (it had
been refridgerated, naturally or artificially, since shooting).

Tonight I will be processing a test strip of some HSIR which expired at
the end of 1995, sat in the freezer until May, and then sat in my camera
bag for the summer.  I'll let you know the results.
