Title:
  cryptkeeper segfaults at start sometimes

Status in cryptkeeper package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in cryptkeeper source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  An uninitialized variable makes cryptkeeper randomly crash on start
  in Trusty.

  The fix for it had been applied in newer releases (see bug 1420812),
  starting from Vivid. Would be nice to apply it in Trusty as well.

  The debdiff which is attached to this report contains the fix.

  [Test Case]

  Since it's a random crash, it may take several attempts to reproduce
  it. So just run cryptkeeper a few times from the terminal. It should
  crash right on start if it hits some random value in uninitialized
  variable.

  [Regression Potential]

  None. It had been confirmed that the patched version of cryptkeeper
  doesn't crash on start anymore (reported by Xenial users for example).

  [Original Description]

  I don't understand : Most of the time at launch : segfault but
  sometimes if you reboot the system it starts without complaining.
  Sometimes not.
