for the record, we just discovered a regression caused by your

palm is connected over usb (through libusb).

I guess that someone with a pilot-link had better figure it out then. When
they do, I'll be more than happy to regression test against the color
instruments I have. Of course the simplest way of solving the problem
in the short term, would be to revert the changes to your system
library libusb, and to link argyllcms to it's own copy of libusb, just
as I do in my distribution. [Of course it's possible that the bug
is actually in the way the pilot-link library is using libusb,
and that the concurrency fix merely exposes the bug].
