The major details of this problem can be found at
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=395488 since this was seen
when gnome-session added internal D-Bus support.  Basically, dbus will
write its PID twice to the PID file handle.  The first time is properly
processed, but the second time causes a SIGPIPE which crashes the
session bus.

I'm not sure what the proper fix is, but I have included a patch that
simply ignores SIGPIPE for both writes.  Perhaps the second write should
be eliminated altogether.  These patches are against dbus-1.0.2.

I think the better fix would be to avoid writing the pid twice.

It looks likely the fix for bug #1720 introduced the problem, though I
have not verified. Need to fix it in such a way that it works both with
and without --fork.

Write pid to pipe once

This proposed patch writes to pid to pipe just once.

patch doesn't apply to git head.  Please repost one that does.  I don't
think this will make 1.2.0.

Brian Cameron has pointed out to me Havoc's commit of 2007-08-17. to
bus/bus.c and dbus/dbus-sysdeps-util-unix.c.

I think that fixes the problem and this bug can be closed.
