(Get the code!)
OK, this isn't a problem with the test tools... I'm not positive if this is a kernel issue, or a lshw issue, but thanks to PKs attachments, I've been able to manually and programmatically parse the outputs for 'lshw -json' and 'lshw -C system' and both parse correctly and both scripts work when modified to read the files PK provided.
So this is the issue:
When this system has a USB3.0 device plugged in, lshw segfaults.
When this system has a USB2.0 device plugged in, lshw does not segfault.
IIRC the USB hub initially used was a USB3.0 Hub with both a USB2.0 and USB3.0 thumbdrive plugged in.
I would suggest a couple things:
1: Re-install Trusty (specifically 14.04.5 if not already on that) and see if this is re-creatable.
2: Install 16.04.1 (Xenial) and see if it occurs there as well.
I've also mentioned all this to Brian.
So the net is I won't block a cert on this issue, as it's a corner case but I think it does need to be figured out and determined if it's a bigger issue than just lshw segfaulting (e.g. will more important things have problems if someone connects a USB3.0 device).
