You mean, wait_reading_process_output? Please feel free to ask
questions about the things you don't understand.
In a nutshell, it waits until one of the input sources has some input,
and then we read from that source using whatever method is appropriate
for interpreting that source.

I think things go wrong exactly like in that other bug: we have some
source ready to be read from, but dispatch those events to a "handler"
for another source.

I'd start by looking at the indicators returned by 'pselect'.

My theory is that we think there's an inotify event waiting to be
read, where in fact the event is of another kind, perhaps from D-Bus.
The flags returned by 'pselect' should tell you.
