Avrdude is the only app that has a problem with this driver/hardware.

I have been using this USB 3.0 devices for a month, or so.
I have partitioned, formatted and copied large amounts of data thru this 
device.  This AM, I wrote 4GB to a USB disk drive with dd.  No problem.

When I attempt to upload to an ATxmega128a1 with avrdude, the linux 
driver crashes.  To recover, I have to reboot!

> avrdude -c avrisp2 -p x128a1 -P usb -v -U flash:w:main.hex:i

The usb hub shuts down.  dmesg has:

endpoint command.
