Shucks, Pete, we only got this (disconnect in the midst of ongoing
activity) working right in 2.6 a few weeks ago -- I think; it hasn't
really been stress-tested yet.  Not only is the 2.4 version of usb-storage
missing all that development, but also the 2.4 SCSI stack is not nearly as
clean as 2.6.
