Description of problem:
On bootup, udevtrigger segfaults, and so many devices are not created during
bootup.  Also, if you try and run udevtrigger later, it hangs.  This is with a
non Fedora kernel (2.6.19.2-cks2 and a vanilla 2.6.20)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
udev-095-17.fc6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Reboot with new kernel

  
Actual results:
During bootup, the following panic is given:

Expected results:
udev to create the devices and move on.

Additional info:
If you try and run the udevtrigger by hand after you have started up, it just
hangs.  Also, if you try and run the /sbin/start_udev, it also hangs.  It
appears to be hanging within the scan of the usb devices under /sys/class.
Attached is the strace for the udevtrigger when it hangs.
