    Me, too; you'll also notice it every time you drop to a console
(like when things go awry and you really need to see what you're doing!)

    I've looked at the source code tree, seen where it reports the
message, but I never learned what mask a -84 relates to.  I've taken
various USB peripherals off, even changed out the hub hoping it might
solve it....I just got used to it.

    I'm not sure why THIS message seems important enough to go to the
console, since I've had it 2-3 years and it's never changed
anything...and posting to the list turned up less than Google...
