This didn't get any response. It's a trivial patch, also recorded in
bugzilla (#13009), and helps to cure the problem.

I went ahead and committed it:

  http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=hal.git;a=commit;h=15604d786c6f88f1b80632b885e1029b32b9176b

Please bash me if there's anything wrong with it.

Thanks,

Martin
