I should have been more specific here. The one
really annoying problem is a reference counting
problem I introduced in one of the last changes
that prevents you from destroying a device after
it has been used.

Unfortunately, I'm still traveling after LCA,
and haven't had a chance to look into this before
sending out the patches as I had originally
planned. I've also seen crashes that are not
fully reproducible, any bug reports on those
are appreciated.
