[Bug 984474] Re: initctl crashed with SIGABRT in nih_error_clear()

[Rich McAllister]

I had what appears to be a variant of this problem on a machine upgraded
from Lucid; selecting logoff/restart from the unity bar resulted in no
restart, and after manual restart an initctl crash was reported.
Installing the proposed change seems to have fixed it, thanks.
