Have just reproduced this bug here with Ubuntu Touch running on an emulator. When it happened, I was interacting with the upstart session bus from the commandline. I ran 'initctl list | grep app' to get the pid for an instance of the application-click job, so that I could manually kill it instead of having to construct the 'stop' command with all of the variables etc. So then I ran 'kill $pid', and saw that the process didn't immediately die, so sent 'kill -9 $pid'.

Then I checked 'initctl list' output again and saw that the job was in the post-stop script. Then I checked 'initctl list' again, and found that the connection was refused on the dbus socket because the upstart session init had died.

My backtrace matches that of Saviq in comment #12 (i.e., nothing interesting before the nih_unref() call).
