That is weird... The patch I sent previously fixes a segfault which occurs when jstest gets weird button mapping data back from the joystick driver, which doesn’t happen all the time. I thought this might be the cause of your segfault, since it happened just before the buttons were output. In any case I’m preparing a new version of this package this weekend, including the patch in question. Could you let me know if you can reproduce the segfault once the new version is in the archive?
