This is indeed displayed if hal is not running. Did this happen only
once or is that reproducible?

Can you please verify that hald indeed not runs by opening a shell and
typing

  ps aux | grep hald

If hal runs, the output should contain something like

  hal      12540  5.2  0.9  3972 2428 ?        Ss   15:14   0:00 /usr/sbin/hald --drop-privileges
  
If not, can you please help us to debug this? Please start hal in
debugging mode with

  sudo hald --drop-privileges --daemon=no 2>&1 | tee /tmp/hal.log

This will print out hal's debug log onto the console and also write it
into /tmp/hal.log. If hal crashes after some action, you will see the
prompt again. Can you please mail us the log file /tmp/hal.log if you
can reproduce the crash, together with a description when the crash
happens?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Martin
