You did everything right on the backtrace, but that is puzzling.

At #2, ups_infoval_set() apparently calls HIDGetIndexString(), but I don't see where it does that in the code. There must be some pointers, or something.

The easiest thing might be to crank the debug output up a bit more (5x -D, even) but since that will be a bit more output, please redirect it to a file, and gzip the log before attaching it. Doesn't need to be long, just enough to see one or two errors.

Another idea is to recompile without optimizations, to see if that helps the gdb backtrace. NUT apparently sets CFLAGS=-O if it is not set already, so adding "CFLAGS=-g" to the ./configure line should do it.

Arnaud, am I missing something obvious here? After making "device.part" HU_STATIC, there shouldn't be any other string descriptors retrieved in drivers/tripplite-hid.c.
