And sometimes the hardware doesn't distinguish among various kinds of 
errors.

That's a good value to use for an unknown low-level error.

Maybe something in your driver doesn't get reset properly when an URB
finishes.  That could cause the first bulk-IN transfer to succeed and the
second to fail.

In your log, there's something strange about the control transfers.  They
don't have a Data stage, only Setup and Status.  So the token for the
Status stage should be an IN, but the log lists it as an OUT.

Don't think I can help you there.  You'll have to track that down by 
yourself!
