Yeah.  And it appears that it's the very first call to
hid_submit_ctrl() that's triggering the problem (not always, but about
9 out of 10 times).  I dumped some of the key fields for the URB being
submitted and they all looked saned to me.

OK, thanks for the suggestion.  I'll keep looking, but will be on
travel this week, so I may not be able to spend much time on this
problem.
