Yes, this is:

The behavior seems very similar to what is described by your final post
on that PR. I don't think it's a gcc4 problem (although I am using
gcc4) since I believe I saw the issue before amd64 switched over,
although I could be mistaken.
I'm honestly clueless as to how to debug this further, and have just
been living with it, since I can usually re-plug the devices to make
them show up. :-)
