The kernel no longer crashes on remove and I can reinsert and it
recognises the card without hassle. I do get no messages on eject though
(about devices being deregistered, etc) but I get msgs on insert (about
them getting regstered etc). One time I didn't get the card recognised
at all on insert... dunno if that was myfault or not but on eject and
reinsert all was fine.

Martin's distress was in contrast to the bitter satisfaction of some
of his fellow marines as they surveyed the scene. "The Iraqis are sick
people and we are the chemotherapy," said Corporal Ryan Dupre. "I am
starting to hate this country. Wait till I get hold of a friggin' Iraqi.
No, I won't get hold of one. I'll just kill him."
