I don't think you need to... The problem is to get udev to give the same 
name to the same device every time, isn't it? I can't tell you how to do 
that, but I'm sure it can be done. And someone will say "you don't know 
how to do that?" and tell you ;-)

   Obscure bug of 2004: BASH BUFFER OVERFLOW - if bash is being run by a
normal user and is setuid root, with the "vi" line edit mode selected,
and the character set is "big5," an off-by-one errors occurs during
wildcard (glob) expansion.
