I would like to thank the GitLab team for their excellent work triaging
this issue (and getting a patch ready). Very nice work. I tested the
version of dbus in Stan Hu's PPA here:

https://launchpad.net/~stanhu/+archive/ubuntu/dbus

After updating dbus to the version in this PPA, I ran my "ssh to a
container" test (which I used as a test case reproduce the bug to file
this), and also on another test system that was experiencing this issue
with a real-world use case.

This time, I was able to SSH into the system several thousand times, and
everything worked fine.

Next I turned it up to eleven by running eight continuous-SSH scripts in
a loop. In a minute or two, it fell over and went back to the 25-second
delay behavior. So while the behavior is *much* improved with the dbus
patch, there are still lingering issues, and I think we should consider
patching systemd as well (in addition to triaging further to determine
if there is larger design flaw that can be fixed separately).

I think it's worth patching dbus alone as a first step. I will test
Łukasz's systemd PPA to see if that further improves things.

Thanks again to everyone in the community who helped pull together a
fix!
