HOW TO REPRODUCE:
- Do a calibration using the precise profile (haven't tried with the other ones).

RESULT:
- After a while the calibration process hangs with the message "sample read failed due to communication problem. Hit Esc or Q to give up, any other key to retry.
- Retying always fails, and the calibration can never complete.
- Screenshot: (https://goo.gl/Wisrd7)

RELEVANT DETAILS:
- It doesn't happen using the application "dispcalgui", which also uses argyllcms as back-end.
- The used device was a Pantone Huey Pro.
- Bugs in this application are recurrent. Requires fixing the root cause, not the symptoms: (https://goo.gl/dxihAJ)
