Comment(by mcalhoun@…):

 Replying to [comment:18 vinc17@…]:
 > I think I understand the condition. IIRC, X11 cleans up the environment,
 so that the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable (defined in my
 .profile) is no longer set in X11 and Liferea's start-up script runs dbus-
 launch. As a workaround, I can set DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS in Liferea's
 start-up script.

 > Now, if I run dbus-launch form the command line, I can reproduce the
 crash. Probably just a minor bug since the user is not supposed to run
 dbus-launch, but in any case, there should not be a
 KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE (the _4 version did not have this problem), but
 just an error message or something like that.

 According to the original
 [https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14259 bug report],
 DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS should no longer need to be set[[BR]]
 but is used if it is set.

 Does not setting DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS anywhere solve your problem?
