It seems to be related to this:

http://www.nabble.com/Problems-with-dev-input-device-and-NULL-values-td20409095.html

I've tried that solution; no joy.  I've also tried this as a quick and 
dirty hack:

        do {
        rd = read(hw.fd, &event, sizeof event);
        if (rd != sizeof event) {
                logprintf(LOG_ERR, "error reading '%s'", hw.device);
                if(rd <= 0 && errno != EINTR) raise(SIGTERM);
                return 0;
        }
        } while (event.type == EV_SYN) ;

No joy either....
