[Bug 613700] [NEW] kernel BUG at /build/buildd/linux-2.6.32/drivers/char/tty_ldisc.c:707!

[Harufumi Tsuchiya]

Public bug reported:

Dear Ubuntuers,

In order to continuously take some data via a usb-serial adaptor, 
I am using a netbook with Ubuntu 10.04;
Description:    Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release:        10.04.

The usb-serial is composed of FT232RL, and successfully
attached to the netbook. However, occasionally, the use-serial
adopter is automatically disconnected and hence data-taking stops.
The occurrence rate of the disconnection is different from case-by-case;
in some case 1 per a few hours, and in another case 1 per 15 days.
I do not understand why the usb-serial adopter is abruptly disconnected,
and whether this disconnection is really due to ubuntu bug or not.

The following is a message given by dmesg;
