I did some debugging. In the new DBus release the assert for
dbus_message_iter_open_container was made somewhat more strict. Which means
that some incorrect calls now hit an assert while they previously were
incorrectly allowed.

libnet-dbus-perl calls dbus_message_iter_open_container with invalid arguments
in several places, but got away with it untill now..
