 After some more experimentation I've figured out the steps needed to  
 reproduce the crash reliably:
 
    1. attach the device
    2. use a python+libusb program to download some firmware
    3. halt the device but do not detach it
    4. attempt to access the device again using py+libusb (it will not  
 be found)
    5. detach and reattach the device
 
 NetBSD (I'm now running 5.0.1) will reliably crash when the device is  
 reattached. If I skip step (4), it will reliably *not* crash. The  
 syscall-level effect of (4) is to open the /dev/usb## devices, close  
 them, reopen them and issue USB_DEVICEINFO ioctls.
