[Nut-upsuser] psp on SuSE 10.0: free(): invalid pointer

[Roger Price]

 - UPS MGE Premium Ellipse Premium 1200
 - SuSE Linux 10.0 OSS, kernel 2.6.13 smp
 - gcc version 4.0.2 20050901 (prerelease), glibc-2.3.5-40
 - mgeups-psp-3.0.0-3, nut-2.0.2-4
 - Dell Dimension 8400 with dual core Intel Xeon. 3.0GHz.

lsusb shows:
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0463:ffff MGE UPS Systems UPS

less /proc/bus/usb/devices shows for bus 2 device 3:

I followed the User's Guide for this UPS at
http://www.mgeups.com/download/soft/install/linux/psp/psplinux_user_guide_en.pdf
and used SuSE YAST to install mgeups-psp-3.0.0-3 and nut-2.0.2-4.  Smooth,
well done.  I launched Personal Solution-Pac to detect and autoconfigure.
After a few seconds, this program dies with no output and no messages in
/var/log/messages, and no file /etc/ups/upsd.conf. Files /etc/ups/ups.conf and
/etc/ups/upsmon.conf are present, but have not been configured.

I launched PSP in verbose mode:
sandrane:~ # psp -d
option debug
App PID is: 26194
lockfile is /root/.mgeups-psp.lock
lockfile is /root/.mgeups-psp.lock
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x080cf0d8 ***
Aborted

No "nut" messages in /var/log/messages.

Is there a deeper debug mode for psp which will help pin down the invalid
pointer?
