Verify that those damn USB devices haven't moved to another device
name on you.  I used to have that happen a lot, with the USB-Serial
device alternating between /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyUSB1.  Drove me
nuts (now you know how I got this way).  As I recall Xastir would
lock up if I tried to open the wrong one.
