Time is a scarce resource unfortunately. But until I have the time to look at it you might want to investigate if you are able to reproduce it on 2.6.1/2.7.0/master on 2 regular (x86_64, ubuntu/debian) VM this would really help.<br><br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I have attached the complete profiling scripts<br>
here, its a bit<br>
shabby, im new to python.<br>
<br>
There is a README which has the details on how to<br>
execute it.<br>
Im using a Yocto 1.6 on x86_64 platforms on both<br>
the nodes.<br>
<br>
<br>
Running this script when there are other sessions<br>
running<br>
seems to reproduce this problem easily.<br>
Please try it and let me know if you have any issues<br>
reproducing the problem.<br>

Hi,<br><br>
Can you provide more information on the<br>
system? Which<br>
distribution,<br>
architecture, kernel version?<br><br>
The verbose sessiond logs might help pinpoint any<br>
unexpected behaviour<br>
here (are all applications registering as<br>
expected?).<br><br>
