so dbus-daemon isnt actually dead here, just reaaaaaaaaally slow in response. messages still make it from lipc to the reader they just take minutes instead of seconds.

i attempted to watch the process with dbus-monitor --system but nothing of interest shows up in there to help id this problem.

kindle is still quite responsive as well.

EDIT. so i now believe this is due to blowing by the 1024 file descriptor limit in dbus. i can actually see the file descriptor list grow via lsof for the dbus-daemon. Now the question is why are these files being left open.

apparently you can change the limit from 1024 to 65535 but I have not been able to do so . ulimit -n lists it at 1024. anybody know how to change that?
