merge 770942 770327 thanks i just did a test run on artemis, where i logged into a console and had `strace gajim` run.
the last lines before the "BUG:" were:
> open("/proc/brcm_monitor0", O_RDONLY) = 3
> fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_Size=0, ...}) = 0
> fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_Size=0, ...}) = 0
> mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) =
> 0x...
> read(3, [ 268.089355] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer
> dereference...
i have no idea why gajim would want to deal with a device-specific file,
but be it how it be, /proc/brcm_monitor0 is a reasonable culprit. given
what is described in #770327, i'm merging those bugs.
as a workaround, i've added a line
chmod 000 /proc/brcm_monitor0
to /etc/rc.local.
best regards
