Hi,
Pascal de Bruijn has reported some problems with USB timeouts
on Linux with the ColorMunki. His symptoms were that it would work the
first time after plugging in, but not thereafter. My suspicion
was that is some sort of bug in the Linux driver for a particular
USB hub on his motherboard, but without help from one of
the Linux USB driver writers, it's hard to be sure what the cause is.

That's strange. Usually such problems are to do with permissions to
open the device - ie. setting up a suitable udev file.

I think the driver has effectively failed at this point,
because poll() has returned -1 so it thinks the driver
is shutting down.
Without the reaper thread, no USB transfers will complete.
What happened before this ? (ie., since you have ommitted the
trace, it's not clear whether USB transfers were working before this,
or what led up to poll failing).
