Well, ok, they are probably two different bugs...

...but it is quite easy to test for both of them and they seem to be
introduced in similar timeframe.

Steps to reproduce:

minicom /dev/ttyACM0

Bug #2: try to interactivelly communicate with the other
device. Notice that characters are echoed one character too late. You
type "hello", but only "hell" appears. You press "!", "o" appears. 

Bug #1: while minicom is still connected, pull the USB cable. Machine
locks hard.

Now, both bugs are present in 2.6.28, and 2.6.24-rc8 does not have
either problem.

It would be nice if someone could verify if it also happens with
regular USB modem -- I'm using openmoko to reproduce it.
