This issue has been occurring for years on my setup.
OS: Gentoo
most recent kernel: 4.1.12
UPS: Eaton Powerware 9130 rackmount 2000kVA, connected via USB

The upsdrv service dies and must be restarted several times a day.
Zero output to dmesg or any other log other than failed reattempts
reporting no such file or directory errors.

"/lib64/nut/usbhid-ups -DDD -q -a powerware" exited 1 and this is the tail
end of its output:

upsdrvctl is not noticing this exit, so the openrc service scripts get into
a stuck state also--I have to stop, then zap the upsdrv service before I
can start it again.
Each time it works fine for some non-deterministic amount of time then dies.
