This one completely mystifies me.  I have a little script I use to cvsup, cvs
update, and rebuild my system, and it's been hitting failures about once a month
over the last 6 months.  The failures are all fairly alike: cvsup fails to apply
a delta to one of the text files in /home/ncvs/usr/ports (not the subdirs,
things like UPDATING only).  Generally I don't notice this until hours later,
when I notice that my cvs update of that file failed, and I've been fixing it by
deleting the affected file in my /home/ncvs, and re-running my script.

Just now, I happened to run it while I was watching, and I caught this coming
from my messages, it's obviously from the same processes (my machine is named
"april"):

Mar 22 17:03:32 april dbus-daemon: Would reject message, 1 matched rules;
type="method_call", sender=":1.59" (uid=1001 pid=42493 comm=")
interface="org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable" member="Introspect" error
name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="org.freedesktop.Hal" (uid=0
pid=1202 comm="))

I lost the actual error message, but I recall that the 1.59 was part of the
string defining the delta.  The rest of it I'm blaming on dbus due to the very
coincidental timing, exactly the same as the error.  I wish I'd kept the
original error, but it's gone now, it didn't go into messages.

So, somehow, dbus is causing this, but I'm not on particularly good terms with
dbus & hal, so I can't tell where to go to start fixing this.  Anyone get
anything from this error message?
