lircd[2766]: segfault at 8 ip 0806abf0 sp bf88f770 error 4 in
lircd[8048000+29000]

Mythbuntu 
9.10 Karmic
2.6.31-20-generic #57-Ubuntu

lircd 0.8.6

i can reproduce this segfault when configuring both a receive and a
transmit with usb uirt2 (see hardware.conf) . If I configure remote only
(comment out the transmitter) the remote works fine. If i configure
transmitter only (comment out the the remote) the tranmitter works fine.
If both are configured, remote does not work and segfault caused by
following irsend command

--begin

irsend -d /dev/lircd1 SEND_ONCE SAE8000 3

-- end

Have  also reproduce using hd homerun as remote and usbuirt2 as
transmitter,

Have not directly reproduced yet, but believe this may happen in other
combinations. I also have an Hauppage HD PVR which I failed to configure
as a transmitter (hence the purchase of the usb uirt2). This may have
been the cause although I am unsure.

I tried to reverse the order of the transmitter and remote (based on
some online comments) but problem still appear to happen with
transmitter first and remote second or the other way around

I am a newbie to this so apologize in advance if I have omitted details
or if this is a known issue. I may be able to help test resolution
(dependign on complexity of install)

Bug description:
Binary package hint: lirc

lirc:
  Installed: 0.8.6-0ubuntu2
  Candidate: 0.8.6-0ubuntu2
  Version table:

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.
