@Uwe:

I confess I was slightly confused in my original note.  It turns out that
libftdi isn't causing any trouble: I can reliably wiggle the CBUS pins
under program control.

However, other parts of our system depend upon using the FTDI part in
serial mode.

My real problem is that I haven't found a reliable way to load a backend
driver (e.g. libusb-win32) for use by PySerial.  The manifestation is that
I can create a "filter" for the FTDI that makes it known to Windows, but on
occasion (and I can't tell what that occasion is) it forgets about the
device and I have to re-run the filter installer.

So...truly this issue doesn't belong in the libftdi.  However, perhaps
someone on this list has had some experience with the problem I describe.
