more verbose strace log

Description of problem:

The system dbus daemon consumes 100% CPU after a user logs in. strace shows fast

| poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, ... {fd=41, events=POLLIN}, ...|], 36, 24525) = 2 ([{fd=41, revents=POLLNVAL}, {fd=43, revents=POLLNVAL}])

sequences. Before the first of these polls, strace shows that dbus
client closed connection (POLLHUP) and the dbus daemon closed the
sockets.
