[Bug 963870] Re: indicator-messages-service crashed with SIGSEGV in dirname()

Bug #761463 was apparently fixed upstream by making "dirname" variable
static

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3300978&group_id=18136&atid=118136

I tested the same fix applied to seen-db.c in indicator-messages and
confirm that after I rebuilt indicator-messages, this crash ceased
