Okay, so the one of the reasons I moved d_urx->start() out of the 
initialization code was
that it's causing all of my machines to lockup within seconds.  I'm having a 
hard time
debugging this one as it is literally only seconds before things lock up.

Without starting the RX side, the code runs to completion without flinching
(test_usrp_inband).  As soon as I start the RX side, lock up on all 3 machines 
I've tried
this on.  Granted, they're all Gentoo x86 machines.  I've tried doubling the 
USB block
size, still a lock up.

Any ideas?
