It is - this is apparently down to a race which occurs with some USB
implementations.
Its a kernel problem, but I don't currently know of a fix. Some
compiles show the problem more often (I had one that triggered 2 out of
3 times), some less (most of my kernels fire this off 1 time in 20 or
much fewer). I've seen the problem on and off on 2 different laptops
over the last 18 months at least.
