Debian (so I'm not excluding that this might be an error I introduced
somehow :).

For me, 2.6.6-mh3 when it last happened, iirc.

For the bug reporter I spoke to, 2.4.26-1-686 (from Debian.)

I asked for diagnostics from the reporter, and he sent me the output of
hciconfig -a, just after he restarted hcid:

notice the weird name.  This is with hcid.conf saying:

	name "%h-%d";

which is the default for Debian.

Looks like there might be some bug in computing the device number.  It
should be reading "hactar-0".
