Not specifically; it's kicking the *wrong* people, which is usually what
gets people upset.
Like I said before, you're on the mark with your problem description,
just missing it with your solution. At any rate, in case you missed it,
Jonathan Lemon has offered to take up the maintenance of the fxp driver,
and if you have samples of the offending hardware, you should forward
them to him
You might want to coordinate with Larry Baird at GTA (lab@gta.com, AFAIR)
to make sure you don't double up. I can vouch for Jonathan's reliability
and competence; I've also sent him hardware in the past with good results.

I wish I could offer anything in their defense. 8(
