Probable bug in dbus-python

[tsuraan]

In the git sources for dbus-python I downloaded two days ago (I haven't
figured out how to re-sync yet), if you attempt to connect to the SystemBus
without importing dbus.glib, the program crashes.  A quick demo:

>>> import dbus
>>> bus=dbus.SystemBus()
process 24616: arguments to dbus_connection_close() were incorrect,
assertion "connection->generation == _dbus_current_generation" failed in
file dbus-connection.c line 2740.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.

On the other hand, if you do import dbus and then dbus.glib, it works fine.
It's a small bug, but probably worth fixing :)
