Howdy.  This has been going on for a while now but has been bothering me 
enough lately I thought I should see if I could find a solution.

Previously, my Toshiba PDR-M70 digital camera worked flawlessly with the 2.4 
kernel series.  It appeared like a standard FAT volume and I could copy stuff 
to and from it by mounting it under /dev/sda*.  Since I moved to the 2.6 
kernel branch having the camera connected and trying to handshake via USB 
actually causes the entire USB sub system to hang - so badly that I cannot 
perform a normal system shutdown.  Essentially what happens is that the 
kernel waits for the USB driver to let go which it never does and I cannot 
kill the process, use mod-probe to clear it out, unplugging the camera does 
not fix it, etc.  I have to actually perform a hardware reset! 

 In other words it is beyond fubar, it is dangerous.

Here is what /proc/bus/usb/devices shows when the camera is not connected:

Any suggestions on what to try here appreciated.
