[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#813949: bluetooth: error causing service to be unusable: Not enough free handles to register service

[Jameson Graef Rollins]

Package: bluetooth
Version: 5.36-1
Severity: important

Recently, for unknown reasons, bluetooth stopped working on my
machine.  It seems to recognize devices, but will not connect to them.

This is right after a fresh reboot.

My devices seem to be recognized, but there is no auto or manual
connection:

servo:~ 0$ bluetoothctl
[NEW] Controller F8:2F:A8:EB:6A:04 servo-0 [default]
[NEW] Device 00:0C:8A:E1:1C:56 Bose Mini SoundLink

Attempting to connect to 00:0C:8A:E1:1C:56
Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.NotReady
[bluetooth]#

Any advice would be appreciated.  Thank you.
