It seems I was wrong about that. I didn't remember well the situation about 
the 2.6.27 kernel. In fact the freezes started to occur after I upgraded to 
2.6.29.

I discovered this by doing some tests during the past week:
bluez 4.40 + linux 2.6.29 -> freezes
bluez 3.36 + linux 2.6.29 -> freezes
bluez 4.40 + linux 2.6.27 -> ok
bluez 3.36 + linux 2.6.27 -> ok
bluez 4.40 + linux 2.6.30 -> ok

I am now running the last combination, a custom 2.6.30 kernel and bluez 4.40 
and I have no other problems except that the mouse doesn't connect 
automatically with the first invocation of hidd (or with bluetooth-applet), but 
I can work this around for now.

So, I am reassigning this bug to linux-image-2.6.29-2-amd64 (which is the 
kernel that freezes), as this seems to be a kernel bug and will be fixed in 
debian when the kernel packagers package linux 2.6.30 or later.

Regards,
George
