gamecon causes segmentation fault

Bug Description

The gamecon module loads without problem but causes programs that use it to freeze, requiring a hard boot. jstest reports the presense of the SNES pad, but then reports Segmentation fault.

I did the following:
modprobe gamecon map=0,1,1,0,0,0
jstest /dev/input/js0

I am using Dapper, and I upgraded from Breezy (gamecon works in Breezy).

Thanks for your bug report.

According to the following post, this issue is probably fixed in Edgy Eft:

However it is probably possible to backport the patch to Dapper. Problem: I do not know how to find the patch.

When will I see a result of the fix being committed? Is there an easy way to fix my Dapper now?
