Can you find out where the segfault happens? I think the newest
development version might contain a memory allocation bug somewhere,
but I have not yet been able to track it down. If you compile with
debugging enabled (make CFLAGS="-I../include -O -Wall -Wsign-compare
-g" usb) or similar, you should be able to run the debugger on the
resulting core file (gdb drivers/newhidups core.XXXXX) to find out
where the segmentation fault happened.
