There are only two things that could be happening: Either the device sends different data during the two tests, or there's a bug in the kernel. Now, it is possible the device is sending bad data. The initial parts of the two logs do not agree exactly; there are numerous small differences in the control data sent by the device and by the program. I don't know whether they are significant, but if they aren't, there's no reason for the device to send different bulk data. The transfer size certainly cannot account for it. Indeed, even if the transfer size were only 512 bytes, the first data packet should still be the same. You said you don't want to spend any more time working on this problem. But I'd still like to track it down. Is it possible for you to loan me a device for testing? I've got a USB bus analyzer, which could help to pin down what's going wrong.
