Here's the problem area that needs inspecting: #2 0x0000000804171c75 in dbus_malloc () from /usr/local/lib/libdbus-1.so.3 do: 1. make -C $PORTSDIR/*/dbus extract 2. Find the file where dbus_malloc is defined. 3. Look for an abort. The pain in the ass part about dbus is that while it's a fairly well formed communication bus, if the implementing party isn't properly transmitting messages, then stuff goes south quickly, but dies without much helpful noise. But in the meantime, your console may have some helpful messages worth looking at. HTH, -Garrett
