Bug 87950

Created attachment 111624 [details]
strace of "systemctl restart postgresql-9.3.service"

Running any systemctl operation like start/stop/restart makes systemctl hang forever not returning to the prompt.

This is not restricted to any specific services but happens for any.

Running systemctl in strace shows this(full log attached):

Attaching strace shows first only this line:

I was able to bisect this down to ebd011d9 (http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=ebd011d9)
Kernel is 3.18.1 (no kdbus)
dbus version is 1.8.10
