It's crappy coding on the part of the Logitech module. Ross Ridge gives a convincing argument for what's going on: <http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=17999960>. More info on the loader lock issue is in this paper: <http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver/kernel/DLL_bestprac.mspx>. Now if only someone could forward these clues to the idiots that wrote that Logitech crapware, it would save a whole lot of frustration.
