How reproducible:
Not really sure; more than once, though.

Comment 1 Suzanne Hillman 2008-09-29 18:29:05 UTC
Seems to happen most often when stopping/starting it and having it connect to an ethernet cable and unplugging and replugging that in.

Comment 2 Dan Williams 2008-09-29 22:36:32 UTC
Any chance you could install debuginfo packages from brew?  Otherwise I assume we'll debug tomorrow.

Comment 5 Dan Williams 2008-10-09 19:11:14 UTC
I think this is a combination of old SELinux policy and an older NM (with the hostname changing behavior on).

Comment 6 Suzanne Hillman 2008-10-09 19:54:07 UTC
This has stopped happening in 20081006.0's build tree.
