[Bug 57861] usb key producing address errors on dapper kernel.

[KarlGoetz]

Public bug reported:

the key is a 256 Kingston "datatraveler" usb flash drive.

when plugged into a dapper system with any of teh default kernels (
-25-386, -26-386 or -26-686) it simply scrolls this message:

and keeps going to well over 100 if you let it.
the same device on my edgy system (uname -a = Linux Rommel 2.6.17-6-686 #2 SMP Fri Aug 11 22:09:15 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux) gives this:
