FWIW: Do you have the latest version of the FTDI OSX driver? I've
had cases where the entire Mac would luck up under certain
conditions (mostly related to the USB device itself). The older
versions of the OSX drivers definately had some problems vs the
Windows drivers. I've yet to have a lockup with the latest driver,
however.
That said, from your description sure sounds like something in RB
is getting locked into a loop, waiting for something to happen with
the USB driver. (which could be a pure RB issue, or could be an RB
issue triggered by the driver)

Well... I'm one version back. I'm using driver version 2.01. They
have just released a newer one on February 1st - version 2.10. I've
put in a request for a custom version of the driver that has my VID
and PID numbers in it. Until I get that, I really can't make use of
their new driver. Unless I can find a way to hack them in
there ;-) ...or pull my eprom out... hey, not a bad idea!
I've read the release notes, and it looks like the only (documented)
change that they have made was something to with supporting aliased
baud rates. I don't know what that's about, but it doesn't sound
like my problem. But there could be undocumented changes. In their
older driver I had a lot of problems with the OS being able to find
the device after it was disconnected and reconnected again. Never
had any lockup problems until now.
Which driver version are you referring to as being the stable one?
The one that was release a week or so ago?
Oh... and by the way... opening and closing the port immediately
before and after every data send did not solve things either...
