(It took me a little while to get back to this...headed out of town over the 
weekend, and I've been tied up with other stuff since then.)

Here's what it produced as output before I killed it:

Those tests will have to wait until later, as I'm at work and the UPS is at home.

One other bit of weirdness I've noticed is that in order to switch back to the 
hidups driver, I have to unload and reload usbhid.ko.  When newhidups loads up, 
/dev/usb/hiddev0 goes away.
