actually, looking at the info in a little bit more detail, I saw that
ID_SERIAL_SHORT is slightly different from ID_SERIAL. Trying this
version of the serial number made my ipod work again.

I also created a quick hack to find this automatically, see attached
patch. It works for me, but I can guarantee neither that it works for
anyone else nor that it is correct Perl code (I just copied code from
what I could see in the files and adapted some of it, as I'm not
familiar with Perl).
