[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#547552: bluez: bluetoothd segfault on usb dongle insertion

[Kyle Kearney]

Package: bluez
Version: 4.42-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

When I insert a USB Bluetooth Dongle, I've recently started seeing the
following output in dmesg:
[31108.769042] usb 5-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and
address 6
[31108.927155] usb 5-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0a12,
idProduct=0001
[31108.927159] usb 5-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0,
SerialNumber=0
[31108.927287] usb 5-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[31108.930294] bluetoothd[17867]: segfault at 7fb82caee4 ip
00007fb82c8117cf sp 00007fff22aa3b30 error 4 in
libc-2.9.so[7fb82c7a0000+147000]

This failure renders bluetooth completely unusable on my system -
neither kbluetooth and gnome's bluetooth-applet can enable bluetooth,
and hcitool scan reports:
Device is not available: No such device
Wammu is also unable to detect or connect to my mobile phone, which I
was able to do using this dongle about a week ago - so I don't think
this is a hardware incompatibility problem.
