The error messages always start to appear right after

  Starting system message bus:

I wonder if that is significant?

The system message bus, as ominous as it sounds, is just a simple program that forwards calls to other programs. Why it would trigger those errors - I have no idea.

---- Oh great.  It has stopped failing now.  What I did:

Logged in on VT2.  (I took a long time, because of all the errors)

ps -ax;   then killed the dbus-daemon (no help)
tried to kill various X-related processes, hard to tell if that helped.
commented out the "once" line (runs prefdm) at the end of /etc/inittab, then "kill -1 1"
Then the error messages stopped.

Are we hitting some memory limit? Some I/O limit? Hmm, I think that the dbus daemon might do a decent amount of I/O on startup, reading config files and whatnot. Maybe it pushes it over some limit?
