Yes, I found that out by reading the source code when I was
reimplementing this in the gdbus implemetation of D-Bus (that does not
use any code from libdbus-1). See e.g.
http://people.freedesktop.org/~david/gdbus-win32.png

I don't recall anything about "autolaunch:" being an allowed address.
Please clarify. Also, all this (the shared memory segment details like
name and also semantics) really ought to be in the spec. Any chance
you (I'm assuming you wrote it) can prepare a patch for this?
