That is weird. There are 2 possible explanations for that:

1) usbredir_handle_msg from gtk/channel-usbredir.c is not getting
called, this would mean that the usb_ev_thread is somehow
blocking the main thread ?

2) The usbredirhost_read_guest_data() call from usbredir_handle_msg
has a complete packet, and one which requires it to make some libusb
call which takes one of libusb's internal locks, and for some reason
the libusb_handle_events() call holds that lock while it is sleeping?

Which platform are you on and which version of libusb are you using?
