Lircd keeps segfaulting? Not sure if update causing it....

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is due to an update or an update to libraries however when trying to run lircd I keep getting segfaults; with the same commands it was working previously without any issues.

The current installed versions are:

extra/lirc 1:0.9.1.a-2 [installed]
    Linux Infrared Remote Control kernel modules for stock arch kernel
extra/lirc-utils 1:0.9.1.a-2 [installed]
    Linux Infrared Remote Control utils

and the commands I'm running are:

systemctl stop lirc
lircd --driver=devinput --device=/dev/input/event14 --pidfile=/var/run/lirc1.pid --listen=9988;
lircd --driver=devinput --device=/dev/input/event15 --pidfile=/var/run/lirc2.pid --connect=localhost:9988;

I'm using an MCE remote to control XBMC.

Bus 005 Device 002: ID 05a4:9881 Ortek Technology, Inc. IR receiver [VRC-1100 Vista MCE Remote Control]

As stated everything worked fine earlier but after doing a "pacman -Syu" things started to go funny.

I even had issues with XBMC not starting due to libGLEW being updated but I think it's fixed now as there have been 2 XBMC updated within the last few days.

Does anyone have any suggestions or do I just need to wait for an update to lircd?

Thanks.

[EDIT]
Since the event codes changed I used this to find out the new event numbers:

cat /proc/bus/input/devices

However I still get this:

lircd --driver=devinput --device=/dev/input/event13 --pidfile=/var/run/lirc2.pid --connect=localhost:9988;
Segmentation fault

Well.... an update came in today which fixed the issue.

Thanks to whoever updated/fixed the package :-)
