Bug#351308: alleyoop segfaults when started as root

[Andree Leidenfrost]

Package: alleyoop
Version: 0.9.0-5
Severity: normal

I've rebuilt the package with unchanged outcome, i.e. it still crashes 
when running as root. A non-root user is fine.

Here's the (somewhat frugal) gdb session:

I've also tried this on i386 with the same result, i.e. it segfaults 
when run as root.

Best regards
