I built dbus and dbus-glib, then booted the system directly and ran the tests. I didn't have a dbus daemon actually running but there was no hang-up and the tests ran to completion. I rebooted into my current LFS, chrooted into the new system and ran the tests again. They halted in the same place as before. I'm working in chroot because I want to be able to copy and paste from the book, which for some reason stopped working in text-based Links a couple of years ago. I know from earlier posts that other people do this too in the early stages of BLFS. Perhaps a warning note might be useful here.
