I dare to doubt there are two severe bugs of that kind that are 100%
reproducible. I haven't had a  hotplug crash in any of the two drivers
for a long time, and I use both of them extensively.

I rather assume there's something else failing, probably some host
controller issue that corrupts mempory? Can anyone else reproduce this
maybe?
