[Nut-upsdev] newhidups (2.03-pre2) not working with APC Back-UPS

[Peter Selinger]

Charlie,

have you gotten any more of those memory corruption errors?
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x0805c450 ***

If this error is reproducible (or reproducible with some probability),
I would like to start debugging it. This might involve me sending you
some code to test. Are you available?
