Contrary to the current status, this bug does not appear to have been fixed in Natty. It is readily reproducible, though apparently non-deterministic. Exiting some applications that use dbus will help temporarily, but the symptoms invariably reappear when given enough uptime.

Based on the strace log provided in the initial report (and my own investigation), it looks like dbus leaks file descriptors in some circumstances, leading to a livelock situation when calling accept.

I am running dbus-1.4.6ubuntu6, so the conclusion that this was fixed in 1.4.6ubuntu was incorrect. This bug needs to be reopened and reexamined.
