annoying frequent overcurrent messages.

[Dave Jones]

I have a box that's having its dmesg flooded with..

hub 1-0:1.0: over-current change on port 1
hub 1-0:1.0: over-current change on port 2
hub 1-0:1.0: over-current change on port 1
hub 1-0:1.0: over-current change on port 2
hub 1-0:1.0: over-current change on port 1
hub 1-0:1.0: over-current change on port 2
hub 1-0:1.0: over-current change on port 1
hub 1-0:1.0: over-current change on port 2
hub 1-0:1.0: over-current change on port 1
hub 1-0:1.0: over-current change on port 2
hub 1-0:1.0: over-current change on port 1
hub 1-0:1.0: over-current change on port 2

over and over again..
The thing is, this box doesn't even have any USB devices connected to it,
so there's absolutely nothing I can do to remedy this.
