fc5 test2 haldaemon failed?

[Naoki]

Funnily enough (or not) I have the same problem.  Never really bothered 
to check why though as my system seems fine and I though it was just me.

Now I know there might be something to it I had a look..

Startup fails here :


+ /bin/bash -c 'ulimit -S -c 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 ; hald --retain-privileges'
+ '[' 1 -eq 0 ']'
+ failure 'haldaemon startup'
+ rc=1
+ '[' color '!=' verbose -a -z '' ']'
+ echo_failure



Running an strace over the process shows _many_ of these :

[pid 19360] fcntl64(585, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = -1 EBADF (Bad file 
descriptor)
[pid 19360] fcntl64(586, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = -1 EBADF (Bad file 
descriptor)
[pid 19360] fcntl64(587, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = -1 EBADF (Bad file 
descriptor)
[pid 19360] fcntl64(588, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = -1 EBADF (Bad file 
descriptor)
[pid 19360] fcntl64(589, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = -1 EBADF (Bad file 
descriptor)
[pid 19360] fcntl64(590, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = -1 EBADF (Bad file 
descriptor)
[pid 19360] fcntl64(591, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = -1 EBADF (Bad file 
descriptor)
[pid 19360] fcntl64(592, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = -1 EBADF (Bad file 
descriptor)


Along with about a few million lines of other output which I have no 
idea the meaning of.
