[Bug 829980] Re: upstart-udev-bridge eats 100% cpu calling dbus_message_iter_append_basic()

[John]

Hi, I've got the same problem on a Dell 2950 server - no batteries
installed save for those in the RAID cards, so it doesn't look to be
isolated to laptops. The machine in question worked fine until oneiric
install, and shows the problem after a variable amount of time, could be
minutes possibly hours/days

Going to try James' patch

Copy of /var/log/udev attached
