Package: hal
Version: 0.4.8-1
Followup-For: Bug #311481

Hi there,

I experience a similar issue. Hal hangs for about a minute and then
exits. I booted normally and straced '/etc/dbus-1/event.d/20hal stop'.
The strace is attached to this message.

Most of the time hal hung with "waitpid(-1,". At that time, I ran top
with a short delay and observed this:

13753 hal  ?  0 Z  0  0  0.0   0:00  0.0 fstab-update.ha <defunct>
13782 hal  ?  0 Z  0  0  0.0   0:00  0.0 40-hal-hotplug- <defunct>

Sometimes only one of them hangs, sometimes both of the mare <defunct>
several times during one stop operation.

This happens always, even right after reboot. Before stopping hal, it
runs fine and top/ps show status 'S'. Just in case it matters: I am
running a self-compiled 2.6.11.11 kernel with swsusp2 patch.
