Description of problem:
Hi,

I try to pair my jabraBT200 headset with a USB-BT dongle on FedoraC4.  
(details below) I used the dongle to communicate with the phone and that 
works just fine.  The headset works fine with the phone as well.  I suspect, 
that I have a compatibility problem with the package mix on my FC4 box (see 
below), since when starting hcid -n I get the following backtrace in the very 
second I try to communicate with the headset (e.g. l2ping and headset in 
pairing mode).  This is not a problem of the pin-helper application.  It is not even started at that point.  I solved the problem by downloading and compiling
bluez-2.22 from sourceforge (just make clear that this not a problem with my setup or hardware.).  Also, it is repeatable in my home-PC, laptop and office-PC.

More info here:

Cheers, Rolf
