It turns out that the dmesg log information I posted earlier was not
actually part of the problem. It was just old logged information.
Nothing to do with the my current problem. Nor is there any information
in any of the logs.

I ran it as you suggested with 4 D flags (-DDDD). 

Output:
        12.008281       send_cmd(msg_len=2, type='S')
        12.136276       send_cmd(msg_len=2, type='D')
        12.264275       send_cmd(msg_len=2, type='M')
        12.392281       send_cmd(msg_len=2, type='T')
        13.768512       send_cmd(msg_len=2, type='L')
        13.896289       send_cmd(msg_len=2, type='D')
        .
        .
        .
        ##.######       send_cmd(msg_len=2, type='T')

At this point tripplite_usb freezes. No more debugging information is
output. It doesn't always hang on the 'T' command, it appears to be
random. I was able to look at the stack to see where it was hanging.

Stack:
        Read
        Usb_do_io
        Usb_interrupt_read
        Usb_interrupt_read
        Libusb_get_interrupt
        Send_cmd
        Upsdrv_updateinfo
        Main
        _start

It appears NUT is waiting for the UPS to respond. I am currently
attempting to duplicate this crash with more -D flags, but because of
the rarity of the issue it may take some time.

It may be similar/same. I think it may be too early to tell. Thoughts?
Suggestions?
