commit dcb2829b8eff61463b0869614ddb07b1c86cecaa Author: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Date: Wed Dec 30 12:42:52 2009 +0100 linux/probe-input: don't use error prio init it may happen in the out: case that LIBHAL_FREE_DBUS_ERROR (&error) is called before the error structure is initialized via dbus_error_init (&error). This could lead to a segfault during startup as seen in dmesg: |Intel AES-NI instructions are not detected. |padlock: VIA PadLock not detected. |hald-probe-inpu[1793]: segfault at 2 ip 00007f656fb68969 sp 00007fff39eeb950 error 4 in libc-2.10.2.so[7f656faf3000+14a000] |hald-probe-inpu[1796]: segfault at 2 ip 00007fa2c3293969 sp 00007fffd92a5dd0 error 4 in libc-2.10.2.so[7fa2c321e000+14a000] |hald-probe-inpu[1797]: segfault at 2 ip 00007f1d08ba2969 sp 00007fff34244e30 error 4 in libc-2.10.2.so[7f1d08b2d000+14a000] |hald-probe-inpu[1799]: segfault at 2 ip 00007f35c0e3d969 sp 00007fffe5ec7ee0 error 4 in libc-2.10.2.so[7f35c0dc8000+14a000] |hald-probe-inpu[1800]: segfault at 2 ip 00007f931c556969 sp 00007fffe1825b60 error 4 in libc-2.10.2.so[7f931c4e1000+14a000] |hald-probe-inpu[1801]: segfault at 2 ip 00007f5156d9a969 sp 00007fff4e620af0 error 4 in libc-2.10.2.so[7f5156d25000+14a000] |RPC: Registered udp transport module. |RPC: Registered tcp transport module.
