Raspberry Pi 512mb Bad USB controller connection.

Is anyone else having the following issue:

I have discovered that there is a problem with the USB circuity. When-ever the device is touched on the USB controller (IC3), the device resets every thing attached to the USB circuit. When any device is removed or plugged into the device, the whole Raspberry Pi resets.

It is a real pain and I am sending my RPi back to be replaced.

My guess is a bad IC connection or a broken trace on the PCB, so when you flex the board the slightest bit the connection opens. Lots of people have touched their LAN chips to measure temperature digitally and I've seen very few reports of anything like this, so RMA sounds good to me.

I have sent the sales team @element14 an email to arange for a new one to be shipped to me. I got a similar response on the RaspberryPi forums as well (RMA).
