All in all the bug seems to be harder to recreate today then

Ah. This changes the things...
The only thing that comes to my mind is now the serial driver...
It's possible that the way it interacts with the USB code triggers
the problem better than something else: I should take a look to the code
but the fact that the serial driver sometimes gives problems
is a fact (btw, never experienced crashes during the boot when
the system initializes the serial ports ?)
