Bug Description

Binary package hint: hotkeys

This has happened since kubuntu edgy. Sometimes on startup hotkeys just doesn't start or apparently starts and crashes immediately. I cannot say if this is due to using using a hotkey it controls while it is still starting or if it is just in general, but I know this time it at least happened during startup and I pressed a hotkey while the hotkey splashscreen was still loading/visible.

This bug is still in Jaunty.
Package is hotkeys 0.5.7.4-0.1.
The output from gdb bt says:

#0 0xb72849f8 in strncpy () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6

#3 0x00000000 in ?? ()

The segfault does't depend on the -t option.
