Bug Description

We get number of processes alerts from buildbot because of the number of dbus-daemon processes that accumulate over time:

buildbot@pigeonpea:~$ ps fuwwxx | grep 'buildbot start' | grep -v grep
buildbot 362 0.0 0.3 76332 7372 ? Sl Oct14 0:27 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/buildbot start /srv/buildbot/slaves/launchpad
buildbot@pigeonpea:~$ ps fuwwxx | grep dbus-daemon | grep -v grep | tail -1
buildbot 21191 0.0 0.0 29004 308 ? Ss Oct14 0:00 /bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 --session
buildbot@pigeonpea:~$ ps fuwwxx | grep dbus-daemon | grep -v grep | wc -l
209

Marking as "high" per recent LP/IS review call when operational issues were asked to be marked as "high" priority. This means we periodically need to restart buildbot instances and manually kill old dbus processes.

I've marked this paralleltest. I don't expect that feature to correct this situation, rather I expect it to obsolete it by running in containers that get shutdown. So when paralleltest is live on our CI environment (buildbot or not) this can be closed. Win.
