Title: system() fails in RegistryObject Status in “unity-scopes-api” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: if (safe_system_call(started_message) != 0) This fails non-deterministically in the Registry test, even though it shouldn't. I suspect the lack of thread safety of system() is to blame, and the safe_system_call() method with its lock doesn't do the job we were hoping it would. I don't think we can rely on system() to do anything for us. (I've had problems in the past where it would hang occasionally, for example.) Forking a shell is also a supremely expensive way to send a single dbus message. It probably would be better for us to cobble our own dbus message together. But do we have a thread-safe dbus API?
