Hi Diego,

that looks spurious indeed, and I don't think I ever experienced that. When
did this behavior appeared and can you link it to a specific upgrade?

Also, I'm really not sure it's a problem in libimobiledevice. If UPower
crashes, then it's likely a problem in UPower (maybe because it doesn't like
the way a new battery is appearing or something).

I'm reassigning to UPower and add their maintainer to CC:.

@UPower maintainer: feel free to reassign back if you identify something wrong
in libimobiledevice.

Regards,
