[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#497853: bluez-utils: hcid segfaults upon startup

[Michael Wojciechowski]

Package: bluez-utils
Version: 3.36-1
Severity: important


It looks like hcid segfaults when started by the bluetooth init script
- this also happens when started with "hcid -d -n". If I am using an
incompatible kernel version, the init script could print a nice
userfriendly warning.
