Do you know about [1]? This is a regression due to an interface change
that arose from the new event manager. `usb` 1.3.0.0` has a workaround,
GHC 7.10 will have a fixed event manager [2].

Given that it sounds like your program works some of the time this may
not be relevant but I thought it would be negligent not to mention it.

Cheers,
