Seems to be a problem/bug in libdbus, which terminates the process. On
Linux, breaking on _exit(), the backtrace looks like this (somewhat
corrupted, but still identifies libdbus as the problem). I don't know
why libdbus cares for the current working directory.

(gdb) b _exit
Function "_exit" not defined.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) y

Breakpoint 1 (_exit) pending.

You could try to build with --disable-dbus to verify that D-BUS is the
problem.
