It is possible for retrieving the machine ID to fail, either because
dbus was installed incorrectly (machine ID absent or corrupt), or in
32-bit builds, because stat() on the machine ID fails with EOVERFLOW
if it has an out-of-range timestamp or inode number.
dbus has historically treated this as a faulty installation, raising
a warning which by default causes the process to crash. Unfortunately,
dbus_get_local_machine_id() never had a way to report errors, so it has
no alternative for that (bad) error handling.
In dbus >= 1.12.0, we can use dbus_try_get_local_machine_id() to get
the same information, but with the ability to cope gracefully with
errors. ibus won't work in this situation, but that's better than
crashing.
