[BRLTTY] some strange issues with brltty 5.3.1

[kendell clark]

hi
I've got the brltty log file. I'm attaching it to this email, compressed
so it doesn't take up as much space. As soon as I get a command to
generate a backtrace i'll do it and attach that to an email to the list
as well. On second thought, it's only 20 kb so I'll leave it
uncompressed, especially because not everyone uses a gui with easy
archive extraction tools available.

Thanks
Kendell Clark
