Details

The bug is described and is fixed in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=985484 . I can reliably reproduce this by undocking and docking my laptop.

For the sake of simplicity, I have added the two patches that fix this issue.
   0001-linux-Use-a-separate-loc... (3.3 KiB)
   0002-hotplug-Remove-use-of-pt... (4 KiB)

Please report this upstream to get the patches included.

upstream is more than aware (cos the libusbx maintainer fixed this) and a new release is being worked on http://libusbx.1081486.n5.nabble.com/Libusbx-devel-Doing-a-1-0-17-release-tc1629.html says "so with the deadlock on exit fixed " but I do not know when that happens and this drives people *nuts*. There are numerous complaints on the forum, yesterday I was just there when sommeone complained on IRC. Can you imagine clicking the file upload button in your browser and waiting half a minute for the window to appear?

I didn't say I won't include them. But wanted to be sure upstream is aware of it.
Fixed package will go up soon.
