It should be fixed now (r41528 and r41529) - please report any 
noticeably different behavior compared to VBox 4.1 (which wasn't 
affected by this trunk only change/regression).

It'd be great if people with experience could run debug builds (both 
VBoxSVC and the VM frontend inside a debugger, otherwise triggering an 
assertion will lead to a sudden death) and let us know if any assertions 
were triggered in relationship with USB operations. Release builds 
should still show subtle misbehavior, but debug builds will shout ;)

Thanks,
Klaus
