[PD] HID segfault

[metafor]

hi list

i have the same problem here with hid. cat shows output for both 
input/event2 and event3,
both have ms sidewinder gamepads attached which are recognized by the 
hid external, but
as soon as i press start in the joystick abstraction pd segfaults..

any idea what it could be? i run a 2.6.11-preemt kernel with debian,  Pd 
version 0.38.4
without -rt.

i will try it with 0-37-4 now, but i am not really sure if it has 
anything to do with it.
any guess what i should try else?

thanks
m
