[Bug 1261096] [NEW] whoopsie-prefernces respawns whoopsie in an infinite loop

[Michael Blennerhassett]

Public bug reported:

1. Go to system settings -> security and privacy -> diagnostics
2. wait about 1 minute
3. whoopsie-preferences starts respawning whoopsie in an infinite loop

(If nothing happens after about a minute, try changes some preferences
and waiting again)

init (PID 1), dbus, polkitd and whoopsie-prefences then peg a cpu at
100%.  Everything settles back down when system settings is closed.
