Bug description:
Binary package hint: lirc

lirc:
  Installed: 0.8.6-0ubuntu2
  Candidate: 0.8.6-0ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 0.8.6-0ubuntu2 0
        500 http://archive.linux.duke.edu karmic/universe Packages

In Ubuntu 9.10, lirc-0.8.6-0ubuntu2, on both 64-bit and 32-bit platforms, lircd segfaults when /etc/lirc/hardware.conf is configured for the commandir driver.

When using the init script /etc/init.d/lirc to start the daemon, the segfault shows up right away in /var/log/syslog

When testing with 
   /usr/sbin/lircd -n --driver=commandir
lircd stays up, but immediately segfaults when I connect to it with irw

I have not been able to test with any other USB receiver hardware, but I've talked to a friend who is using the same version successfully with a hauppauge PVR card.
