Hi Art,

This log shows hald forking right after startup, then waiting for the
child to write something to a pipe (the call to select() ) with a
timeout of 250 seconds. The timeout expires, the parent kills the
child and then exits itself.

I suggest you try running 'hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes' for a much
more useful output.
