Hello!

I have all the data you asked for:

1. # cat 0u > /tmp/0u.mon.out
2. The kernel log file.

Also 3.
# date; cat 0u > /tmp/0u_after_disconnect_usb.mon.out
Tue Mar 30 08:50:45 EDT 2010

Here, I ran this, disconnected the mouse and re-connected it.

All files are here:

http://home.comcast.net/~jpiszcz/20100330/0u_after_disconnect_usb.mon.out.bz2
http://home.comcast.net/~jpiszcz/20100330/kern.log.bz2

Hopefully something can be found!

It has happened again, in addition, this is a LONG outstanding bug since
