Any ideas as to what may cause this?
Tracked down the problem. For me, it was caused by a bug in the mscim package that surfaces after it is uninstalled.

Problem description and solution here:

Instead of the above steps, which are reported to work, I did an apt-get --purge remove mscim, which did the trick for me.
