Yeah, I've actually been testing this, and I was able to reproduce it 
against the benchmark device (haven't tested any other).

It seems all that's needed is insisting a bit, though I'm probably 
closer to 1 in 5 or 6 runs to experience a segfault.

So far my investigation seems to indicate that the issue is due to using 
an invalid dev->parent_dev pointer in the for() loop at line 764 or 
darwin_usb.c. All I can tell for now is that it doesn't appear to be due 
to bad init of the parent_dev attribute from core. Could be that we're 
trying to access unref'd and restroyed parent devices on OS-X, hence the 
seemingly random outcome.
