I have a couple of dozen plants in an outside plot and they are doing very

Uneven watering.

Uneven soil moisture is the reason I've always read too. Clay pots would
only exacerbate the problem -- they are great for cacti and other succulent
plants which want to dry out completely between waterings but this would be
the worst possible thing with tomatoes.
