USB-CDC-driver hangs in USBD_Write

Hi,
I encountered problems using the USB-CDC-example out of the Atmel software package 1.5 with an AT91SAM9260.
Sometimes, when sending data using USBD_Write, the USB driver hangs in the function/define SET_CSR waiting for the AT91C_UDP_TXPKTRDY flag.
Other times, USBD_Write returns USBD_STATUS_LOCKED all times, while receiving data works fine.

char USBD_Write(unsigned char eptnum,
                const void *data,
                unsigned int size,
                TransferCallback callback,
                void *argument)
{
    Endpoint *endpoint = &(endpoints[eptnum]);
    Transfer *transfer = &(endpoint->transfer);

    // Check that the endpoint is in Idle state
    if (endpoint->state != UDP_ENDPOINT_IDLE) {
        return USBD_STATUS_LOCKED;
    }

    trace_LOG(trace_INFO, "Write%d(%u) ", eptnum, size);

    // Setup the transfer descriptor
    transfer->data = (char *) data;
    transfer->remaining = size;
    transfer->buffered = 0;
    transfer->transferred = 0;
    transfer->callback = callback;
    transfer->argument = argument;

    // Send the first packet
    endpoint->state = UDP_ENDPOINT_SENDING;
    while((AT91C_BASE_UDP->UDP_CSR[eptnum]&AT91C_UDP_TXPKTRDY)==AT91C_UDP_TXPKTRDY);
    UDP_WritePayload(eptnum);
    SET_CSR(eptnum, AT91C_UDP_TXPKTRDY);

    // If double buffering is enabled and there is data remaining,
    // prepare another packet
    if ((BOARD_USB_ENDPOINTS_BANKS(eptnum) > 1) && (transfer->remaining > 0)) {

        UDP_WritePayload(eptnum);
    }

    // Enable interrupt on endpoint
    AT91C_BASE_UDP->UDP_IER = 1 << eptnum;

    return USBD_STATUS_SUCCESS;
}

Does someone else have similar problems?

And another question concerning the USB-CDC-driver: Under WinXP usbser.sys is used as driver for the device and it can be used as a serial port. When connecting to the port (e.g. by HTerm) and then resetting the board, the connection can not be established again, until the device is plugged out and in again. Is this a problem of the USB-CDC-driver on the device or a generic problem of the windows driver?

    Your comment gives me chance to think of problem on the coding on the Atmel source code.
    I have doubt how this line is optimized by compiler,

    while ( (AT91C_BASE_UDP->UDP_CSR[endpoint] & (flags)) != (flags));
    

    In the Atmel source code, the macros are defined as follows - without any volatile.

    AT91SAM9260.h
    
    #define AT91_CAST(a) (a)
    
    typedef struct _AT91S_UDP {
            AT91_REG         UDP_NUM;       // Frame Number Register
            AT91_REG         UDP_GLBSTATE;  // Global State Register
            AT91_REG         UDP_FADDR;     // Function Address Register
            AT91_REG         Reserved0[1];  //
            AT91_REG         UDP_IER;       // Interrupt Enable Register
            AT91_REG         UDP_IDR;       // Interrupt Disable Register
            AT91_REG         UDP_IMR;       // Interrupt Mask Register
            AT91_REG         UDP_ISR;       // Interrupt Status Register
            AT91_REG         UDP_ICR;       // Interrupt Clear Register
            AT91_REG         Reserved1[1];  //
            AT91_REG         UDP_RSTEP;     // Reset Endpoint Register
            AT91_REG         Reserved2[1];  //
            AT91_REG         UDP_CSR[6];    // Endpoint Control and Status Register
            AT91_REG         Reserved3[2];  //
            AT91_REG         UDP_FDR[6];    // Endpoint FIFO Data Register
            AT91_REG         Reserved4[3];  //
            AT91_REG         UDP_TXVC;      // Transceiver Control Register
    } AT91S_UDP, *AT91PS_UDP;
    
    #define AT91C_BASE_UDP       (AT91_CAST(AT91PS_UDP)     0xFFFA4000) // (UDP) Base Address
