So, I spent a few minutes on this...turns out that 1) selinux was preventing the
reading of a dbus file:
open("/var/lib/dbus/machine-id", O_RDONLY) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
getpid() = 3118
write(2, "process 3118: ", 14) = 14
write(2, "D-Bus library appears to be inco"..., 198) = 198
write(2, " D-Bus not built with -rdynamic"..., 64) = 64
tgkill(3118, 3118, SIGABRT) = 0
--- SIGABRT (Terminated) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGABRT +++
2) dbus-libs call abort for _dbus_warn(). Looking at the case of not being able
to read a file resulting in a core dump...I think dbus needs to add a new
function, _dbus_terminate and call that for fatal warnings. Fixing dbus-libs will
fix several other apps linked to it.
