Yes, it is a 2.6.7 known USB bug. You should upgrade to a newer version
like 2.6.9.

We could do dynamic allocation. But this feature would be used by only
0.01% (just an estimation).

In fact I had to modify the code to support more than one logical reader
per physical reader (the SCR 331-DI has a contact and a contactless
interface). So it would not be very difficult to use a completely
dynamic allocation. Patches are welcome :-)
