so the first assumption is that we are causing this disconnect with the
idle timeout setting. I committed a patch to the CVS that disables the
timeout and provides a input.conf setting that would allow to change it
without re-compiling. So we can actually set this to 1 minute for
testing and see what happens.

If this actually fixes it, then it is only an interim fix since the real
problem is that we are disconnecting the remote device wrongly. Current
guess is that we still keep a reference count somewhere. Either inside
the kernel or in user-space.

Regards

Marcel
