[Bug 1102507] [NEW] dbus crashes when networking service is restarted

[frizzle21]

Public bug reported:

on ubuntu 13.04 32 bit , dbus crashes when i do "sudo service networking restart".
unfortunately, this stops unity as well.
the computer keyboard became unresponsive and i had to create a folder on the desktop with the mouse context menu to find compiz in /usr/share/applications and start it with a doubleclick.

this brought back the window decoration and the keyboard, but the overall experience was still extremely slow.
and the internet didn't come back on, even after i started networking again manually, and made sure that network-manager is also running.

when i tried to start the also crashed nm-applet, it told me that it
can't reach it's dbus destinations, so i decided to do an "sudo service
dbus status", which showed me that dbus had also crashed.

How come dbus depends so heavily on networking, that it will crash, kill
the network connection management and the internet connection entirely,
kill compiz and herewith unity also, just because i restart the
"networking" system service in the background?
