Bug#1111326: (no subject)

I tried removing security=selinux from the kernel command-line and then 
systemd doesn't crash.

I downgraded to 257.7-1 (current testing) and that also doesn't crash.

I don't have systemd-coredump installed.

I think there's three bugs total here. One bug is that the crash 
handling was bad, it just froze systemd without any log message written 
anywhere, even "systemctl status" just returned an error message about 
being unable to contact systemd. The second bug is the strlen crash 
while trying to log an error inside sd_varlink_get_peer_uid. That might 
be an outside bug if systemd is not getting a NUL terminated string from 
another library. The third bug is why selinux is failing in the first 
place, which might or might not be a systemd problem, but would be 
probably be helped by seeing the log message.

Please let me know if there's any more info I can provide.
