[avahi] (utils) After 1 cmd, sigint.c:90 assertion fails

[T Ziomek]

[Avahi 0.6.25, running on a 2.6.19 kernel on an SOC's ARC core.  This is
 a 'uclibc' system, with no MMU, and all executables are linked static-
 ally.]

I'm having a problem getting a cross-compiled Avahi installation going.
After running just one of the 'utils' commands (e.g. avahi-publish-ad-
dress), every subsequent cmd fails the assertion at sigint.c:90.  The
following illustrates what I see...

On a freshly-rebooted system, in shell 1:
# dbus-daemon --system
# avahi-daemon
Found user 'nobody' (UID 99) and group 'nobody' (GID 99).
Successfully dropped root privileges.
avahi-daemon 0.6.25 starting up.

In [new] shell 2:
# avahi-publish-address foo.local 10.2.160.10
Failed to add address: Local name collision
# avahi-publish-address foo.local 10.2.160.10
avahi-publish-address: sigint.c: 90: sigint_install: Assertion `pipe_fds[0] == -1 && pipe_fds[1] == -1' failed.
Aborted
# 

The same assertion fails if the 2nd avahi-tools command issued is some-
thing else such as "avahi-publish-service".

Now, the "local name collision" is something I also have to solve [1],
but my immediate concern is the fact that only the first Avahi utils cmd
run after a reboot gets past this assertion.

[1]:  How can a name collision occur when that name is not configured or
      set anywhere?

Avahi is configured with
"./configure --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --target=arc-linux-uclibc
--disable-qt4 --disable-qt3 --disable-gtk --disable-gdbm --disable-glib
--disable-autoipd --disable-mono --disable-python --disable-gobject
--with-distro=none --with-avahi-user=nobody --with-avahi-group=nobody
--with-avahi-priv-access-group=nobody --enable-shared=no
--disable-stack-protector"

All configuration files are as-built (I've made no local mods).

Any ideas or suggestions?  Thanks,
Tom
