I don't think that's the one I'm talking about -- that deals with
partition detection in iPod Nanos, whereas the one I'm talking about is a
more fundamental bug in the USB 2.0 subsystem, affecting all USB hard
drives -- including, but not just iPods. (In fact, I think it may also
affect USB HID devices too, although I'm not certain that aspect is not a
hardware issue.)
