Would it be likely to work if I replaced
if (revision==4)
timed_out = 0;
which is an arbitrary hack which assumes everything worked for Rev 0400
after <timeout> seconds, with
if (revision==4) {
if (timed_out) {
if(signal_kernel) {
pusb_ioctl(fdusb, 1, 1, NULL);
}
timed_out = 0;
}
}
which does the same thing, but adds the command the subprocess will never
run. Or is the subprocess still running and causing trouble?
