[segfault] running ir-keytable with v4l-utils 0.8.9

[Wojciech Myrda <vojcek@tlen.pl>]

On my system I have just installed using bumped Gentoo ebuilds v4l-utils
package

[ebuild   R    ] media-libs/libv4l-0.8.9::bigvo  0 kB
[ebuild   R    ] media-tv/v4l-utils-0.8.9::bigvo  USE="-qt4" 0 kB

ebuilds used for bumbing to version 0.8.9:
http://gentoo-portage.com/media-libs/libv4l/libv4l-0.8.8
http://gentoo-portage.com/media-tv/v4l-utils/v4l-utils-0.8.8-r1

However I experienced a segfault trying to run this command:
ir-keytable --protocol=rc-6 --device
/dev/input/by-id/usb-15c2_0038-event-if00

Trace I got in gdb:

Do you need "set solib-search-path" or "set sysroot"?
