Package: hal
Version: 0.5.8.1-4
Severity: normal

If I unplug a USB storage that is mounted, HAL gets stuck and doesn't
respond to any more USB plugging events, even if the device is unmounted
after that.  It does react to the unmounting event itself, as well as
events produced by plugging in a battery (this is a laptop).  If the
device is unmounted before unplugging, everything works fine.

Restarting HAL enables it to function again.  Killing the appropriate
hal-addon-storage process has no effect.

To summarize, the following steps will produce the problem:
Precondition: HAL is working, with no automounter present
1. Plug in a USB storage, which should appear in hal-device-manager
2. Mount the device
3. Unplug the device
Postcondition: HAL doesn't react to USB events anymore

This might be related to #394019 and #292482, but since
gnome-volume-manager is not involved and the latter bug is rather old,
those offer no insight to fixing the problem.
