Have you tried your setup without polling?  It really
doesn't make any sense to poll when using controllers
that have interrupt hold offs that can be precisely
programmed like the em controllers. But it will
certain give insight to your problem if one works and
the other doesn't.

I'd also try it on a 32bit compile. Otherwise you have
too many variables.
