[Nut-upsuser] Nut 2.7.2 on OpenBSD 5.6 with APC USB UPS

I have an APC USB UPS that was working on OpenBSD 5.5 with NUT 2.7.1   
When I installed the latest 5.6 snapshot with NUT 2.7.2 the UPS no 
longer sends status messages when it loses line power.  I asked over on 
the OpenBSD ports list and so far haven't had any luck getting this to 
work again.  I disabled upd at boot as was suggested and that didn't 
change anything except stopping the random upd detached messages.

  Here's the output of upsc with the AC unplugged for 10 seconds. As you
can see the input voltage dropped to 0, but ups.status remains online.

Any ideas why this stopped working or what else I can try to get this to 
work again?  Go back to OpenBSD 5.5 is the option I'm looking at at this 
point.

[Nut-upsuser] Nut 2.7.2 on OpenBSD 5.6 with APC USB UPS

Looking at the diffs between NUT 2.7.1 and 2.7.2 (including the OpenBSD
patches), I don't see any changes in NUT that might cause this.

Your ProductID of 0002 is old enough not to have the broken interrupt pipe
firmware, but that expects the OS to handle USB Interrupt In transfers properly.
Otherwise, it will take up to 30 seconds (pollfreq) to re-fetch all of the
variables that the UPS should provide through the Interrupt In pipe.

I would try starting the driver with "-DDD", and capture that to a
log:

/usr/local/bin/usbhid-ups -DDD -a apcusb 2>&1 | tee /tmp/apcusb.log

Let it run for about two minutes, then ^C, compress the log and mail it back to
the list.

You can also try reducing "pollfreq", although the reason for this was
to prevent the UPS from tripping over itself by sending too much data. The
"ups.status" bits should be polled in the fast polling cycle (2
seconds versus 30). Hopefully the log will have some error messages to explain
why that is apparently not happening.

I see a libusb_get_interrupt message in the log. Could that be the problem?

Here's the log file.  Hopefully it will attach Ok.
