Uups, we have a bug in udev-remove.c.

udev segfaults with NULL-pointer, if the device is not in the database:

  ./test.block: line 29:  4844 Segmentation fault      $BIN block
  Dec 17 22:47:42 pim udev[4882]: udev_remove_device: '/block/sdy' not found in database, falling back on default name
  Dec 17 22:47:42 pim udev[4882]: udev_remove_device: name is '(null)'


thanks,
Kay

Ick, this was probably my fault from the merge with the dbus code,
sorry.  Thanks for the patch, I've applied it.
