Ubuntu release:
Description:	Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Release:	16.04

Package version: 0.5.0+git1.656f8865-5ubuntu2.1

The current version of multipath-tools for Xenial (0.5.0+git1.656f8865-5ubuntu2.1) causes segmentation fault when trying to run, for example, "show paths" from the daemon.
When further investigating the issue, it seems that since Ubuntu 14.04, the enum describing the keyword type in cli.h is now of size 35. This leads to overflows as later on values are left-shifted by the values in these enum, and some of those exceed 31 (the maximum legal shift amount in 32-bit int).
This leads to wrong choice of the handler in the command parsing stage (cli.c - find_handler). Specifically in "show paths" it leads to choosing cli_list_paths_fmt instead of cli_list_paths, and later to null dereferencing and segmentation fault.
