long (25 seconds) pause when starting hal-device-manager

[Jeffrey W. Baker]

Hi,

I have dbus 0.60, hal 0.5.6, and udev 079 on Linux 2.6.15.  When I start
hal-device-manager there is a 25-second pause before anything happens.
According to the strace, during the pause both hal-device-manager and
the system dbus daemon are in poll(), waiting for the other to say
something, basically.

Strangely lshal does not have this problem.

I have attached the strace of both my client program and the dbus and
hal deamons.  In the trace, pid 3714 is the system dbus deamon.  The
other processes are the hal daemon and the hal addons.
