A heck of a lot of things can trigger an /sbin/hotplug run. It could well be that Andrew's driver didn't want to run hotplug at all, but the kernel did it anwyay. But as soon as the script appeared at /sbin/hotplug, and it happened to use foo|bar: boom.
In fact, <many> things run /sbin/hotplug but don't necessarily need to :/I think bcrl used a counter one time, and saw over 1000 /sbin/hotplug executions during a single boot.
