This is actually not sane, and a prominent note is displayed when you
start irrecord like this [1]

A segmentation fault is obviously bad. However, I cannot reproduce this.
For me the gap detection sort of works after a looong time, and the
recording actually results in a file. Havn't bothered to test it, this
is just not the correct way to create a config file for the devinput driver.
I'm leaning to close this as not-a-bug. After all, the usecase is not
supported. On top of that, the crash is not reproducible.
Perhaps the message [1] should be augmented with info on possible
crashes, dunno
Cheers!

Usually you should not create a new config file for devinput
devices. LIRC is installed with a devinput.lircd.conf file which
is built for the current system which works with all remotes
supported by the kernel. There might be a need to update
this file so it matches the current kernel. For this, use the
lirc-make-devinput(1) script.
Press RETURN to continue.
