Package: bluez Version: 4.40-2 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
Hi, I have a logitech bluetooth mouse which I connect using hidd --connect $MAC_ADDRESS. Before I upgrade to bluez 4.40 in unstable, it had always been working fine. Since I upgraded to bluez 4.40, I am experiencing strange behavior and occasional kernel freezes. My usage scenario is this: First I turn on the mouse and then I run a script on a console, which runs "sudo hidd --connect $MAC_ADDRESS", to connect the mouse. When I want to disconnect it, I simply turn off the mouse. Before the bluez 4.40 upgrade I had no problems with that. Since 4.40 though, every time I run this script, I first get an error message saying "No route to host" and then I have to try once again and the mouse connects fine. Sometimes though, the second time it does not succeed either, and hidd does not return. After a few seconds, the kernel freezes completely. Keyboard/screen are dead and I can't ping the machine. Only alt+sysrq+b works, which reboots the machine. This has happened to me twice, one time with a custom 2.6.27 kernel and the second time with debian's 2.6.29-2 kernel. The logs don't write anything about it. Ask me if you need any further information.
