	No, you're right. Unfortunately, I don't have an Edge to test
with, and the USB code was contributed; it's a mystery to me.

	Interesting. I thought this was an all-or-nothing thing. The
last time this came up, everything worked fine up until the point
where ColdSync tried actually read()ing from the Edge. The read()
would return a negative value, and ColdSync would abort.
	But obviously if you're succeeding one time out of ten, then
it's not as deterministic as that (and harder to diagnose :-( ).
	If you could poke around and try to figure this out, there are
a number of people who'd be grateful.
