Unfortunately, when I remove a card, the whole umass0 device vanishes, never
to reappear. 
Actually, I can live with removing and reattaching the whole reader every time
I change card, the thing that was really concerning me was the way the system
sometimes 'forgets' how to open any files at all when I remove and reinsert a
card. Sadly, this problem is intermittent and I haven't worked out the
circumstances that trigger it yet. I will update when the whole GCC thing has
blown over and build a debug kernel to see if that sheds any light on the
matter.
