Hmm, thanks.  Could you also add the following instrumentation to that
code, like such:

	      device = xi_device_from_id (dpyinfo, xev->deviceid);

	      if (!device)
		{
		  fprintf (stderr, "device not found, %d\n", xev->deviceid);
		  goto XI_OTHER;
		}

and see if that is ever printed when wheel movement stops working?
