NM crashes at startup

["Christian Kirsch" <ckirsch gmx net>]

Hello,

I am using NM over a year now with Gentoo Linux. Unfortunately after an update of my Gentoo Box, which includes NM 0.6.4, dbus 0.62 and others I am not able to start NM. This is what I get:

I searched the net and found someone who has a similar problem (but not the same), where they suggested to upgrade dbus to 0.91. I did this but I got the same result. 
Additionally I tried to run NM in non-daemon mode with strace to receive more detailed debug messages, but I have no idea what's going on here....

...

Would be great if you can help me with this
