USB "safely remove hardware" causes my USB modem to reset

This is very odd - whenever I use "safely remove hardware" to disconnect my
USB pen drive, my broadband modem resets. I'm sure it didn't used to do
this, in fact it seems to have only been happening for a week or so - maybe
something in a recent update has changed its behaviour ?
The really strange thing is that I don't even have to actually remove any
piece of hardware - right now the only thing connected which appears on the
removable list is the modem, and just clicking on the icon to see the list
causes the modem to reset !

Any thoughts ?
