[PD] HID Crashing

[Kyle Klipowicz]

I have also been having HID problems lately on OSX Tiger w/ the latest
test build of extended. It crashes when trying to open higher device
numbers.

Also, only the analog d-pad for my game pad works, but not the
buttons. The game pad works with snes9x for gaming, so it must be HID.
It used to work on earlier builds, so it may be something with the
latest version.
