Problem fixed by Apple and RB Version 1.8.5 - IOSPIRIT

Apple has issued an update for this issue of OS X:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macbookmacbookprosoftwareupdate11.html

I've been able to identify other unfixed issues (in how the power management of HID devices is handled plus another bug in the user client area) in Leopard's IOUSBFamily by exploring their source code.

It has been very difficult to work around these, yet I've succeeded. The result are completely redesigned and reimplemented drivers in the just released Remote Buddy version 1.8.5.

I've run tests on an iMac Core Duo, MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo (pre Santa Rosa), MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo (Santa Rosa). They all were stress-tested by being put to sleep and woken up automatically over a hundred times (via SleepX) and a dozen times (manually) and none of them did expose this problem with version 1.8.5.

In case someone wonders if the fix works - it does, at least for me (and keeps doing so, v1.8.8). Thanks for the update!
