That solved the problem, h-d-m is no longer crashing. Thanks!
However there seems to be an other problem with h-d-m, the device list in 
h-d-m is no longer updated after adding/removing devices. E.g. when I start 
h-d-m with my Canon i865 (USB) printer connected and I disconnect it the 
h-d-m doesn't remove the printer until I restart h-d-m(same for USB-Stick, 
putting CD's into the Drive). lshal however shows the change immediately.
