usb-modeswitch segfaults on Nokia CS-17

[Jussi Lind]

I found this in my kernel log when inserting Nokia CS-17 mobile broadband USB modem (Type: RD-13, Model: CS-17):

...and no surprise it didn't work. If I recall correctly, on 11.04 it almost worked, meaning that the led on the device was blinking and it tried to connect, but the connection was always dropped for some reason.

Verified on my other PC running 11.10 that the modem is detected properly, but still won't connect (or gets almost immediately disconnected) like I wrote in the bug description.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
