Hi,
i seem to be having no end of problems with hald running on one of my
boxes. On the other desktop and laptop running the same svn version and
everything works fine. So i'm on a uptodate svn hald (0.5.10) and on
startup it crashes immediately. Firstly it crashes on the smbios probe..

Clearly hash_table is NULL leading to the crash.
Then if i remove the hald-probe-smbios executable, it crashed in
hald-probe-storage. The only difference on the failing machine is that
this has a IDE2CF adapter and a 8GB CF in the slot. This appears at hda
and it's the last probe it does is that device
...[initial device probe stuff removed for brevity]....
