[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#368894: libdbus-1-2: crashes when using tcp transport

[Filippo Giunchedi]

Package: libdbus-1-2
Version: 0.61-5
Severity: normal

libdbus doesn't seems to like very much the tcp transport client-side,
easy steps for a SIGSEV:

$ export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=tcp:port=12346
$ dbus-monitor
Segmentation fault
$ gdb dbus-monitor

unfortunately I have no clue here, but given the fault in strlen should be
quite trivial to spot :)

thanks for your work,
