Are you sure you didn't get similar things before? It doesn't look
related to any change in dbus or exiv.

Does it actually cause harm? It isn't a kernel crash or anything
like that, I thought it would only be a warning.

If you get that again, can you please look for the affected "Pid:" and
use "ps aux|grep 1234" (with the pid number instead of 1234, of
course) to see which process got locked up?
