>Description:
	

System is a uniprocessor 2GHz Pentium-M base Thinkpad T43.

After upgrade of dbus last weekend, hald fails to run. Here is the
tail end of the output of 'hald --verbose=yes --daemon=no':
11:50:54.104 [I] hald.c:108: Added device to GDL; udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_0_0_noserial

*** [DIE] hald_runner.c:runner_died():204 : Runner died

I can make the full log available, but it looks prettty normal to me.

On exactly one of 6 attempts, hald did run, so there may be a race
involved. dbus does appear to be running normally.

>How-To-Repeat:
	
Upgrade to dbus-1.4.0. Start dbus and then hald.

>Fix:
Roll back to dbus-1.2.24_2
