Nut upsuser - Jun 2007 - Microdowell (cpsups) driver segfault

Hello All

I have a MicroDowell ups (BBox BP 1000) connected to a Gentoo box by serial
cable.
If I try to start the driver , I see the following :

Network UPS Tools -  CyberPower text protocol UPS driver .05 (2.0.5)
Warning: This is an experimental driver.
Some features may not function correctly.

debug level is '13'
ups_sync: send [\rP4\r]
ups_sync: got ret 46 [#1000VA    ,2.107,000000000000,CYBER POWER    ]
ups_sync: got line beginning with #, looks usable, returning
get_ident: got [#1000VA    ,2.107,000000000000,CYBER POWER    ]
Detected MicroDowell B.Box BP 1000 2.107 on /dev/ttyS0
Segmentation fault


It segfaults no matter what compilation options I select, or if I use upsdrvctl
or launch the driver directly.

Anyone have any ideea what I'm doing wrong ?

(If this belongs to the -dev list, just say so ... )

Please try the 'powerpanel' driver instead. The 'cpsups' driver
is no
longer maintained. Chances are that it will work right away and it also
offers more functionality than the 'cpsups' driver did.

Are you running a 64bit computer ?

This is what i found on the mailing list
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/nut-upsuser/2006-July/001363.html
Don't know if this is resolved yet. But the problem is if you take it to the
developer list, they want you to run 2.2.0-pre1 and there is no official 
ebuild for this yet.

I have a modified ebuild in overlay that i may send to you, if you would like 
to test the 2.2.0-pre1.
