Bug Description
I've renamed /etc/iftab some time ago because of a bug which is now resolved.
But without a /etc/iftab segfaults:
$ /lib/udev/
Segmentation fault
(with a /etc/iftab it works)
Backtrace:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00002aaaaae85fc0 in strlen () from /lib/libc.so.6
(gdb) bt
#0 0x00002aaaaae85fc0 in strlen () from /lib/libc.so.6
#1 0x00002aaaaae71f90 in puts () from /lib/libc.so.6
#2 0x0000000000401730 in ?? ()
#3 0x00002aaaaae3149b in __libc_start_main () from /lib/libc.so.6
This is on amd64 running dapper. The udev version is 079-0ubuntu18.

* Place joysticks in the "plugdev" group, for programs that access the
joystick device directly and not through X. Ubuntu: #33354.
* The storage device enumerator used by the installer was a bit too
efficient; it would generate new symlink names every time an add event
for a device was received. The installer causes many add events to occur,
each time hw-detect and the partitioner is run. Fix the script to
return an existing symlink name if one exists in the udevdb.
Ubuntu: #27926.
* Fix iftab_helper segmentation fault when /etc/iftab doesn't exist,
caused by returning NULL rather than the suggested name; now returns
whatever name the kernel gave. Ubuntu: #34078.
