bug#7113: 23.2; Crash on invalid path argument to dbus-introspect-xml

[Thomas Fitzsimmons]

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give
a recipe starting from `emacs -Q':

$ /usr/bin/emacs -Q --eval "(require 'dbus)" --eval '(dbus-introspect-xml 
:session "org.freedesktop.DBus" "")'
process 23699: arguments to dbus_message_new_method_call() were incorrect, 
assertion "_dbus_check_is_valid_path (path)" failed in file dbus-message.c line 
1078.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
  D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace
Fatal error (6)Aborted (core dumped)

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
For information about debugging Emacs, please read the file
/usr/share/emacs/23.2/etc/DEBUG.
