[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#465701: dbus won't start - dbus-uuidgen segfaults

Package: dbus
Version: 1.1.2-1
Severity: normal

When I try to start dbus with /etc/init.d/dbus start, dbus-uuidgen
segfaults (it's called from the create_machineid() function in the
script). Running dbus-uuidgen manually produces
http://paste.dollyfish.net.nz/2f00f2

It's been this way for me for ages - I had the call commented out in the
init script for a while. I haven't found any other bug reports related
to it in debian, so it might just be something screwed up about my
machine.
