please bare with me and read below: i emerged the new libusb 0.1.10a marked stable on 7th of June. reemerged libgphoto2 and gphoto2 to use the new libusb. everytime I try to get the pictures from my camera with gphoto2 -P I get Segmentation fault. Identified the exact bug in Debian's bug list, explained and fixed. What's happening is the following: AJ>I have looked at the libgphoto2 AJ> sources, and there is something really strange. All buffers are AJ> 4096 bytes long whereas the requested data size is 32778 bytes. AJ> This was not a problem with the previous implementation of AJ> libusb as it seems that the camera always return smaller AJ> packets. With the new implementation, the kernel starts by AJ> clearing the data buffer believing it is 32778 bytes long, AJ> probably resulting in clearing local variables, and thus causing AJ> the segfault. Full details at the website indicated above. so there is a bug in libgphoto2 which makes gphoto2 crash with the new libusb. suggested fix: patch to change the size of buffers in libgphoto2 (as Debian did). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Thank you.
i believe this is fixed in the newly committed 2.1.6. thanks for your report.
