I wonder if were not facing a 64b bugs?!
can you make another test with nut 2.0.5 + megatec + same ups on a 32
bits system, and report back.

Any developer with a 64b setup to report back?

I've run NUT on a 64-bit (AMD) Linux system without problems. I have
only run the newhidups/usbhid-ups driver though. -- Peter
