[Nut-upsuser] Microdowell (cpsups) driver segfault

[Doug Parsons]

As for the voltage level there is also the possibility that if you are in an
industrial/commercial setting you are getting power from a 3 phase panel and
thus are on a 208 volt circuit. With three phase power each leg will measure
120V to ground or neutral but phase to phase is 208V.

That is somewhat normal.  Some cyber power systems return the #2, and some
don't.

Maybe it's just lousy power.(I have no easy way to verify)

those numbers come directly from the ups itself.  My cyberpower unit
displays the correct voltage (I am in the US, we have 120V line power);
however, there are probably different versions of the firmware that might
not have the correct voltage readings (or your power fluctuates a lot)..
