// Announce through D-Bus whenever a user crash happens. This is

// crashes.
//
// This could be done more efficiently by explicit fork/exec or
// using a dbus library directly. However, this should run
// relatively rarely and longer term we may need to implement a
// better way to do this that doesn't rely on D-Bus.
//
// We run in the background in case dbus daemon itself is crashed
// We run in the background in case dbus-daemon itself is crashed
// and not responding. This allows us to not block and potentially
// deadlock on a dbus-daemon crash. If dbus-daemon crashes without
// restarting, each crash will fork off a lot of dbus-send
// processes. Such a system is in a unusable state and will need
// to be restarted anyway.
//
// Note: This will mean that the dbus-send process will become a zombie and
// reparent to init for reaping, but that's OK -- see above.
