If I have a couple of Catalyst 3750 switches integrated in a single stack and stack master is forced to reload due to a bus error crash for example - will another stack members continue forwarding data or entire stack is considered unavailable and will be forced to reload?

see if this doc answers you questions :
My read of that document indicates that a new master would be elected and that traffic forwarding would continue on the operational switches.
Merv,
After reading this document I've got the same conclusion. In the near future I would have a chance to implement stackwise configuration and I have one DF grade IOS on which I can reproduce bus error crash. If I succeed with crash reproduction I'll write on this group about my experiences. I had implemented stackwise a couple years ago, but I tested failover only by simulating power down situations of stack master/members and in that case forwarding continued without noticeable interruption if any.
