Never mind.  Botched RPM upgrade had left an old version of the daemon
in /usr/bin which had an ABI incompatible change (i.e. we now truncate
socket structures to the header + sizeof the socket name).  We now
install the daemon to /bin in order to start d-bus early in the boot.
While the system daemon was being started from /bin the session daemon
is executed in the path where /usr/bin comes first, picking up the wrong
daemon.
