Public bug reported:
On my fresh install of Precise Ubuntu, I am suffering an lircd crash on
boot. This occurs most boots and apport has sent a few error reports
in, but I didn't see an official bug open yet. I am using a usbuirt
receiver. Judging by the SegvAnalysis, it looks like a null pointer
deference.
Some interesting information is that once the system is booted, I can
restart lircd using '/etc/init.d/lircd restart' and the daemon starts
and stays stable (up for days no new crashes). This makes me suspicious
that this could be an initialization race where the driver is trying to
access something that is not yet available or initialized during the
boot strip.
I am attaching the crash report along with an included file that
contains button signal definitions that is referenced in my lircd.conf
file.
