Comment(by lindi):

 This time "lsusb -vvv" on laptop just took a really long time and
 eventually showed only the hub. Hitting ctrl-c on usb.c does not seem to
 kill it now:

 {{{
 lindi at ginger:~/scm/usb-root/sink$ sudo ./usb -r 1.3 -p 1
 /dev/gadget/s3c2410_udc ep0 configured
 serial="1.3"
 ^Creset source fd: Interrupted system call
 ^Creset sink fd: Interrupted system call
 ep0 stall: Identifier removed
 ^Cep0 read after poll: Interrupted system call
 }}}

 Shouldn't there be a kernel space patch to fix the issue? Bad userland
 software should not be able to crash the kernel.
