Worked ok on amd64 and i386

Trying to get a useful backtrace for the core file.  xmlto blows up on it's
own without dumping the core.  It is bash that core dumps during the dbus
build.

All I got out of the backtrace was one address
0x0005a5f8 in ?? ()

Rebuilding bash with debug symbols to try to get more info.
