Fwd: HAL 0.5.10 (with patch)

In the absence of anyone interested and some spare time on my hands,
here is the patch to fix this in 0.5.10
The issue was my 'glib' is compiled with debug, so the macros inside
g_hash_table_foreach_remove() are no-ops thus passing programming bugs
to the application (hald in this case) to be resolved by generating a SEGV.
Essentially from my initial stack provided earlier, hash table is NULL
in local_server_message_handler() so doing a
g_hash_table_foreach_remove(NULL, ...)
is plain wrong. Recompiling with the trivial fix attached and 0.5.10 is
ok again.

As noted in my thread "Help in debugging a crashing hald on startup" a
few weeks ago, hal SVN was broken and thus so is hal 0.5.10. SEGV's from
the get go. Beware when installing this one. Roll back to 0.5.9.1 if you
see hald crashing. All gdb stacks and verbose daemon messages already
posted in the previous thread for those who want to have a look.
