Bug 301192 – [PATCH] sys-apps/hal-0.5.14-r1 segfaults at boot

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Balazs Nemeth 2010-01-16 15:24:51 UTC]

hald segfaults at boot time. Other bugreports says it also happens at restarts, however I didn't tried.
I only noticed an annoying error message in dmesg.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge sys-apps/hal-0.5.14-r1
2. reboot
3. look dmesg output for hald segfault messages

Actual Results:  
hald-probe-inpu[4932]: segfault at fffffffffffffff9 ip 00007f19f3a72f55 sp 00007fff1cc27c90 error 4 in libc-2.9.so[7f19f39fe000+14b000]

Expected Results:  
no error message

I've googled around and found a debian bugreport which mentions an upstream commit which solves this issue. I tried the patch, now the error message is gone.

I will attach the patch for this bugreport.
