Incompatibility between 10.6.3, Parallels Desktop and DisplayLink 1.6?

Ever since I updated to Snow Leopard 10.6.3, I have been unable to launch Parellels Desktop with my DisplayLink adapter still connected.

When the adapter is connected, I can launch Parallels - and I believe it is running, but I get no display on the screen. If I disconnect the DL adapter, and launch Parallels, Parallels works fine. I can then reconnect the adapter and both operate fine.

The issue is not limited to a single virtual machine or the drivers of those VMs: Any of my VMs, both Vista and Windows7 have the issue. I just cannot tell if this is a DL issue or a Parallels issue. I've tried different settings in Parallels, but nothing has proved fruitful.
