Hmmm ... yes, hald and dbus are in the default runlevel. dbus is
running and periodically reloads its configuration. There are quite a
few of these messages:
Sep 19 02:46:45 crowfix process: 5918: arguments to dbus_move_error() were
incorrect, assertion "(dest) == NULL || !dbus_error_is_set ((dest))" failed in
file dbus-errors.c line 278.

causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus
security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network
