Description Carlos Garnacho Parro 2006-05-20 00:30:51 UTC 
If I specify something like:

<policy group="somegroup">
  ...
</policy>

and the group doesn't exist, the DBus daemon segfaults. I guess that the desired
behavior is to just warn that the group doesn't exist and continue, like it does
with the users policy

Looks like this has been fixed in CVS.  I can't reproduce.
