[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#809505: bt-obex: crash with "Segmentation Fault" when trying to send a file

[Christophe]

Package: bluez-tools
Version: 0.2.0~20140808-4
Severity: grave
Tags: patch upstream
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

While trying to use bt-obex command to exchange file with a mobile phone device,
I have faced a number of unexpected Segmentation Faults.

I took time to investigate and found the problem in the source, so I have prepared
a patch that I have sent to Alexander Orlenko which seems to be the author of the
tools, in hope to have it integrated upstream.

I have attached the patch of interrest (5th of 5 patches), but be warned that I
have made it against Git's latest state, so I am not sure it would apply to the
current debian source state.

I am adding Sam Morris in copy because he has reported 2 bugs which may be linked
to similar issue, so if he has the possibility to test it would be interresting
to know if it improves his cases.

Regards,
Christophe.
