[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#456363: network-manager: dbus error "The maximum number of pending replies per connection has been reached"

[Josh Triplett]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.6.5-3
Severity: important

network-manager frequently triggers errors like these:

Dec 13 07:55:01 josh-mobile NetworkManager: <info>  Error getting killswitch power: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.LimitsExceeded - The maximum number of pending replies per connection has been reached 
Dec 14 00:20:03 josh-mobile NetworkManager: <info>  Error from dhcdbd on 'reason' request because: name 'org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.LimitsExceeded', message 'The maximum number of pending replies per connection has been reached'. 
Dec 14 00:20:05 josh-mobile NetworkManager: <info>  Couldn't send DHCP 'up' message because: name 'org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.LimitsExceeded', message 'The maximum number of pending replies per connection has been reached'. 

The first message occurs many times per minute.  The second and third
coincide with network-manager forgetting how to actually manage
networks, and result in me restarting dbus to unwedge it.  (Restarting
network-manager does not fix the problem.)
