could you try to compile kernel with debugging information? not sure if 
it will fit into ram.

i guess you mean here unplug the keyboard and then immediately plug it 
back, right?

can you tell what value "pipe" handle has? i suspect its NULL

can you tell what value "iface" handle has? i suspect its NULL

can you please compile the kernel with "DIAGNOSTIC" and check for 
messages from usb system?

thats ok. splusb is defined as splbio

not sure about this one

too bad :(

what is your usb controller? uhci/ohci? what chip?

please compile kernel with DIAGNOSTIC and USB_DEBUG. then try to adjust 
various "debug" knobs with sysctl(8) to get debug traces. at this point 
it looks like a race condition of some sort (to me).

thanks,
