Thanks Linus,
I'll build a VM with the 3.18 kernel and retest.

A few seconds later, a system error message pops up. The smart application never completes and can not be killed. The smart.log file is created, but nothing is ever written to it.
The kernel error is fixed by commit 4cb8c3593bbb ("irda: stop calling sk_prot->disconnect() on connection failure"). That should stop the kernel problems, but I'm not sure it will then allow things to work past that. I don't think I ever got confirmation of that (and the oops happens on a connection error, not in the success case)
That commit is in linux-3.18, so if you can upgrade your kernel to try, that would be good.
