Which turns out to be a very bad driver to copy from.  What happens to
your box if you do a:
        cp /dev/zero /dev/ttyUSB0
with your device plugged in?

Yeah, nasty things, all of your memory just disappeared :)

Oh, your patch was also line wrapped, and can't be applied :(

Care to work with the other driver author for the same device?
