Okay, I figured it out. The trick is that a qh won't be on the async list while one of its URBs is completing _if_ the URB was unlinked. Disabling the endpoint at that time triggers some bad logic, causing the driver to think something is wrong even though it isn't. Given this insight, the patch below should fix the problem. Stefan, is it possible for you to tell whether this really does work? Dave, does this look right to you?
