I can confirm that one, and I've reported it as well. I'm also
using YellowDog 2.3, but on a beige G3 with a USB card.  I had
(up to now) wondered whether the problem was an interaction
between the card & the kernel, but that doesn't seem likely now.

I also noticed it using LinuxPPC 2000 with a self-compiled 2.2.18
kernel. My current kernel is the YDL 2.4.19-4a kernel (pre-built).
So the bug is long-standing.

I've been told that if you can open USB View, you can reset the
USB subsystem, but I haven't tried it yet.
