Created attachment 385684 [details, diff]

The attached patch solves the problem by only calling pthread_join if pthread_create has been called.

after the patch it still segfaults

[Comment 2 Matthew Thode ( prometheanfire ) 2015-01-13 05:05:59 UTC]

can you try 2.7.2?

[Comment 3 Jonas Stein 2021-10-24 08:03:06 UTC]

please test with sys-power/nut-2.7.4-r8, 
reopen, if the bug still exists


At least here it does not segfault with sys-power/nut-2.7.4-r8:

/usr/bin/nut-scanner
Scanning USB bus.
No start IP, skipping NUT bus (old connect method)
