Public bug reported:

when looking into our pc pool with 44 machines, in around 2-5 sessions
the System Menu is missing after a crash of indicator-session-service,
making the users unable to log out using the mouse.

There are arround 100 ubuntu machines for students with 32000 real users
from an active directory. The users cannot see any users real name.

I wasn't able to find the right debug symbols, but in the disassembly it looks 
like a crash in service.c:321 .
In the attached crash dump the instruction pointer points to 0x4120a0  in 
memory, which should be the get_current_realname function.


static const char *
get_current_real_name (IndicatorSessionService * self)
{
  GHashTableIter iter;
  gpointer key, value;

  /* is it the guest? */
  if (indicator_session_guest_is_active (self->priv->backend_guest))
    return _("Guest");

  /* is it a user? */
  g_hash_table_iter_init (&iter, self->priv->users);
  while (g_hash_table_iter_next (&iter, &key, &value))
    {
      IndicatorSessionUser * user = value;
      if (user->is_current_user) // SEGFAULT PROBABLY HERE (movzx edx, byte ptr 
[r13]), r13=user ist NULL
        return get_user_label (user);
    }

  return "";
}


The strange thing is: before inserting into the hashmap, every user is checked 
to be != NULL. So maybe I guessed the wrong function, or there are threading 
issues.
