No, it does not seem to segfault when I unload/reload ir-kbd-i2c
and then invoke it by hand with the same parameters.
Quite possibly the environment is different when udev invokes it,
and my strace attempt with udev killed the system, so no info there.

It does NOT segfault on the stock 2.6.37 kernel, without the patch.
