Comment(by pgf):

 this weekend i saw a similar symptom with a USB GPS dongle.  right now i'm
 getting "Data Abort", but what i was getting before was continuous
 "Keyboard Interrupt" indications from OFW.  product also identifies as a
 Prolific USB-Serial controller (067b:2303).   the GPS dongle may have been
 sending data at the time, likely at the wrong baud rate.

 (reporting, in case the "Keyboard Interrupt" symptom implies a second
 issue.)
