Erik is right, I was talking through my hat.  It's OK to open bulk
endpoints read/write, and the kernel will do the right thing.  The
actual problem, which neither of us had spotted although it was
staring us in the face, is this:

			if((ep->dir == Ein || ep->dir == Eboth) && epin == -1)
				epin = ep->id;
			if((ep->dir == Ein || ep->dir == Eboth) && epout == -1)
				epout = ep->id;

Notice the two occurrences of Ein?  The second one obviously should
be Eout.  It was a typo (mine, I blush to admit).

My usb serial adapter uses the same ep number for input and output,
so my testing didn't reveal this error.  I think the same typo will
account for the double-free bug which Jeff (and Lucio on 4 Feb) reported.

Erik, Jeff, Lucio - please try changing the offending Ein to Eout in
/sys/src/cmd/usb/serial/serial.c:721 and see if your troubles are resolved.
