All crashes are worth investigating. The 3c59x especially. Ive been staring
at the code for a long time, and I have to agree with Donald that the code
looks to be basically correct. I can see a couple of possible minor races
which may or may not be real (the docs arent always totally clear) but nothing
that causes the errors reported by people
