Sarah, It is late for me tonight, but I will apply the patch tomorrow morning and let you know how it goes. >Thank you very much to Maddog for helping me track down this Heisenbug. I should be thanking you, Alan and the rest of the USB team for the great work you have been doing. One of the reasons I broke down and bought a new notebook after six years is that the W510 had USB 3.0 in it. I was not going to buy another notebook until it had USB 3.0. I will probably take this last email, print it out and frame it. It is nice to know that I can still help with the technical things some times, even if my "C" code looks a lot like a combination of Fortran and BASIC. I also found it interesting that there is now a name for my "favorite" type of bug. I experienced them often when I was doing a lot of programming, particularly in the early days of computers when we did not have separate instruction and data space. Turn on the debugging aids and the problems would disappear. I may blog about "Heisenbugs" tomorrow. And finally, looking up the term "Heisenbug" led me to a Wikipedia reference to Jim Gray, who used to work for DEC (among other companies), and who I knew quite well. Jim disappeared at sea about four years ago, but was cited for using the term "Heisenbug" in 1985, which was about when I knew him. I have not thought about Jim in a while, but he is sorely missed. I will let you know about how the patch goes.
