Title:
  Systemd crashes with a simple set of target units

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  We are seeing systemd on the Ubuntu 16.04 crash when starting a very
  basic collection of service units. The crash appears in the logs as
  follows:

    systemd[1]: Assertion '*v' failed at ../src/core/timer.c:337, function add_random(). Aborting.
    systemd[1]: Caught <ABRT>, dumped core as pid 2284.
    systemd[1]: Freezing execution.

  This appears to be related to the upstream systemd issue #2632:
  https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/2632

  We can reproduce this bug readily using the attached crashme.sh
  script. This bug was verified in the Ubuntu 16.04 daily build
  20160308.1.
