My bad, you are of course correct.

I have a CATC USB Chief hooked between the device and my FC4 box, I have
a trace of all bus traffic during the enumeration process and beyond.
At no time during the devices crash mode did it return a configuration
containing a mass storage interface, only the debug interface.  And yet,
a few seconds after enumeration I see TEST UNIT READY being sent to
Endpoint 2, which was one of the endpoints in the previously reported
configuration.  The config I see sent in response to the inquiry from
the host doesn't contain an endpoint 2!

I'll check dmesg and /proc/bus/usb/devices as well.

I'll give that a shot, this thing is certainly giving me heartburn.
Thanks!
