Aha! Thanks a lot for finding this! Here's a pseudo-patch:

           /* First add ourselves to the end of the wait list. */
           dev->waitnext = NULL;
           dev->waitprev = port->waittail;
           if (port->waittail)
              port->waittail->waitnext = dev;
+ port->waittail = dev;
           else {
              port->waithead = dev->port->waittail = dev;
           }

Tim.
