running ir-keytable with v4l-utils 0.8.9

On my system I have just installed using bumped Gentoo ebuilds v4l-utils package

[ebuild   R    ] media-libs/libv4l-0.8.9::bigvo  0 kB
[ebuild   R    ] media-tv/v4l-utils-0.8.9::bigvo  USE="-qt4" 0 kB

ebuilds used for bumbing to version 0.8.9:
http://gentoo-portage.com/media-libs/libv4l/libv4l-0.8.8
http://gentoo-portage.com/media-tv/v4l-utils/v4l-utils-0.8.8-r1

However I experienced a segfault trying to run this command:
ir-keytable --protocol=rc-6 --device /dev/input/by-id/usb-15c2_0038-event-if00

Trace I got in gdb:

Hello,

There seems to be some problems with options or file parsing. Valgrind is complaining, too. I'll have a look later.

Is this segfault a regression over an older v4l-utils version?

Thanks,
Gregor

I just started using v4l-utils stuff so I wanted to use most recent version available, hence I didn't try 0.8.8 previously, but seems problem is there as well just with different lines of code appearing

Hello Mauro,

I looked at the crash and it seems that the rc_dev structure is not initialized when a device name is set on the command line. Could you please take a look?

Thanks,
Gregor

Hello,

I filed this as a Fedora bug report so that it does not get lost:
