Hey,

I can confirm this problem on my fresh OS X 10.7 (Lion) installation.

The IRQ storm bug you're referring to was caused by TCK byte difference
between T=1 and T=0 protocols and has been fixed in firmware 0.2 (
http://laforge.gnumonks.org/weblog/2011/08/16/).
This however should not be related I guess as if you connect the simtrace
without a phone and simcard attached to it, this bug should not trigger
(correct me if i'm wrong).

to debugging: you can use a serial cable connected to the 2.5" jack
(something like FTDI based one for osmocom motorola phones if you have one)
- that's the debugging interface. I'm currently travelling and don't have my
usb->serial cable with me so I will check back at home.

Cheers,
Lukas
