looking at the output, it didn't seem that it had stalled but was in a
loop repetitively polling various xml files from /usr/share.  i'm
guessing this is the normal behaviour for hal.

but i don't see anything really too strange in the output otherwise,
though it's possible i missed it due to the size.  let's try something
else:  doing an sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart, when hal hangs as its
coming up, immediately do a "ps -ef".  maybe that will let us see easier
if a particular hal child process is holding things up.  also, how about
the following info:

find /usr/share/hal /etc/hal /etc/dbus-1 -type f -print0 | xargs -0
md5sum | sort

(that should all be one line, if it's wrapped it's because my MUA sucks)
