[BRLTTY] Reportbug: crash of brltty

[Jean-Philippe MENGUAL]

HI Dave,
First thanks for the quick fix and thanks Samuel for the packaging.
INdeed I no longer test the upstream code as I test everything in Debian 
unstable. It avoids the worst problems in stable releases of the distro 
but I understand the inconveniences of this for the release itself upstream.

Anyway releasing 9.9.1 is not an emergency. I still use Samuel's 
packages and they work fine. So we can wait for the next release 
quitely, the system will update when it is packaged.

@Samuel: I dont have in mind the date of freeze in Debian? I guess it is 
not for soon? I ask because it would be cool to release before it.

Regards

This is exactly why - shortly before each release - I plead on this list for people to test the latest development code. Without that user testing just before a release, these kinds of problems will inevitably alays sneak in. I'm far from perfect and benefit greatly from all of your help.
