This was observed on GNU/Linux (Archlinux), but I also witnessed this
under OS X.

* Stop dbus or do not start it in the first place.

* emacs -Q

* evaluate (require 'dbus) in the scratch buffer

Emacs now consumes 100% CPU and is quickly eating memory until there is
no more. Pressing C-g (or any other key) doesn't have any effect.

Attaching gdb to Emacs in this situation usually shows different
backtraces; here is one example:

Thanks for the test, I'll close the bug.

> Maybe it would make sense to issue a warning when dbus is not available?

Not when the session bus is unavailable; this is a common use
case. Maybe a chaeck for the unavailability of the system bus. OTHOH, I
don't know whether there are collateral damages then.

You can check the availability yourself:

(dbus-ignore-errors (dbus-get-unique-name :system))
(dbus-ignore-errors (dbus-get-unique-name :session))

Both forms return nil, when the respective bus is not available.
