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.
