hald dying?

[Tom London]

Running rawhide (hal-0.5.4.cvs20051111-1):

On severals boot ups, I've noticed that hald has died, e.g.:
[tbl at tlondon ~]$ gnome-power-manager --verbose --no-daemon
GNOME Power Manager 0.2.8 - Power Manager for the GNOME desktop

** (gnome-power-manager:3405): DEBUG: Error: The name
org.freedesktop.Hal was not provided by any .service files

** ERROR **: file glibhal-main.c: line 59 (is_hald_running): assertion

aborting...

running 'service haldaemon stop', killing off orphans, and restarting
seems to fix.

Nothing obvious in /var/log/messages or in /var/log/audit/audit.log

Anyone else seeing this?
