Ahh, this is useful information.  What are the controller types
of the two machines?  ohci? uhci?  I think it might be ohci, and
it maybe a page miscalculation when dispatching the request.

Have you looked at the corrupted data?  does it apear to be from
some other location, like the kernel?

It's been about two months since I updated USB to use bus_dma.  So
you could try checking out the usb code from July 4th or so and see
if it goes away (it probably will).
