It happened when I switched on my cell phone's (Sony Ericsson K770i) bluetooth. I didn't do anything more. As a result, it looked like my cell phone tried to connect to my notebook to use it as a headset. I was asked for the usual PIN code pairing, first entering it into my cell phone and then into the popup dialog on the PC, and then the crash happened.

Trooper, can you reproduce the crash using the ubuntu-audio-dev PPA?

Sorry for the crackful "fix" the first go-round. A saner check has been submitted, and once it is signed off, it will appear in some fashion in a pulseaudio update.

06:00 < dtchen> pitti: ok. firstly, it does the wrong thing with
                pa_sprintf_malloc(), including using the wrong parameter:
                address instead of d->address
06:01 < pitti> ah, so it even causes crashes/corruption?
06:01 < dtchen> pitti: secondly, in the case that d->address is bad (in this
                case it is; see the original report), even if we had
                _malloc()ed d->address, it'd still do the wrong thing
06:02 < dtchen> pitti: right, potentially it'd do even worse things
06:02 < pitti> dtchen: would you mind posting that to the original bug report,
               or adding a new one? to have a papertrail of the change?
06:02 < pitti> then it looks fine to me
06:03 < dtchen> pitti: so Lennart and I are discussing how to verify that the
                BT audio device is fully set up; it probably won't land for
                Karmic but hopefully for -updates
06:03 < dtchen> pitti: yes, I'll update the original bug report
