Description John Reiser 2009-08-12 14:05:10 UTC

Description of problem: The message 
gconf-helper[1743]: segfault at 89670 ip 0000000000089670 sp 00007fffd296c2d8 error 14 in gconf-helper[400000+2000]
appears in /var/log/messages during boot to multi-user mode.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pulseaudio-module-gconf-0.9.16-5.test4.fc12.x86_64


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot to multi-user mode
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
gconf-helper[1743]: segfault at 89670 ip 0000000000089670 sp 00007fffd296c2d8 error 14 in gconf-helper[400000+2000]


Expected results: no segfault


Additional info:  There is a python traceback on VGA text console, but it is impossible to read because it goes by too fast, and there is no record of it in dmesg or /var/log/messages.  I don't even know whether it is relevant to this bug report.
