Bug#751993: multipath-tools: multipath -l segfaults (and multipath not working)

[Daniele Di Domizio]

Package: multipath-tools
Version: 0.5.0-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

multipath doesn't work on my Debian Jessie installation (2 servers, same configuration with QLogic ISP2432 cards).
multipath -l simply segfaults, the /dev/mapper devices are not created at boot time.

Please note also that package multipath-tools 0.4.9+git0.4dfdaf2b-7 is working.
