Hi,
I believe I found a race condition in libdbusmenu, I was not sure
which package to report this under (or if it is still even valid for
Debian), so am sending it to the email listed as a maintainer for the
package group.

I have written details in my PR to the Arch Linux package along with a patch.

https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/libdbusmenu/-/merge_requests/1

The gist is that menuitem_property_idle can call prop_array_teardown
with NULL as the parameter in server.c, causing a segfault.

Martin
