The looping in the USB driver with the message about failure to assign

However, the slinky scroll is present with the latest kernel. The
slinky scroll is not present in the 3.2.0-38-generic kernel.

I am using X and twm.

To demo this, I do ls -R to get a lot of lines in the xterm buffer.
Then, with the mouse, grab the scroll bar and move up at a medium speed
so the display attempts to keep up with the scrolling. The result is a
slinky scroll. There are no error messages. top does not show any
activity other than Xorg, which goes to 90% of one cpu. With the
3.2.0-38-generic kernel, the slinky scroll does not happen.

The slinky scroll happens with all kernels I have tried, after
3.2.0-38-generic.

How do I isolate this?
