[Bluez-users] connection timeout after interrupted software

I use a bluetooth software that establishes connections with my
phone via libbluetooth.so.1. Sometimes this software has to be
killed. When I do this, it leaves the bluetooth stack in a broken
state:

  # hcitool scan
  Scanning ...
  Inquiry failed: Connection timed out

How can I prevent this? What is the best way to rectify the
situation? So far, only reloading the hci_usb kernel module (I use
a dongle) and reconfiguring hci0 works. Since some of my machines
have monolithic kernels, this requires a restart. I'd prefer if
there was a different solution.

Thanks for any advice.
