Appending arrays of fixed arrays of bytes.

I guess I hit reply when I composed my last answer to this, rather
than Reply to all. The e-mail never appeared in the listserv archives.

This is using plain libdbus.

I've tried a couple ways. First way:

DBusMessageIter array_iter;
dbus_message_iter_open_container(&iter, DBUS_TYPE_ARRAY_AS_STRING,
DBUS_TYPE_STRING_AS_STRING, &array_iter);

for (i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
    dbus_message_iter_append_fixed_array(&array_iter, info[i].data,
info[i].len);
}

dbus_message_iter_close_container(&iter, &array_iter);

This method generates the following error:

"assertion failed "len <= real_source->len - start" file
"dbus-string.c" line 1576 function _dbus_string_copy_len"

I have also tried the above, but with DBUS_TYPE_ARRAY_AS_STRING
DBUS_TYPE_BYTE_AS_STRING, thinking that maybe it required something
similar to how structs worked. However, that also failed.

"arguments to dbus_message_iter_open_container() were incorrect,
assertion "_dbus_message_iter_append_check (real)" failed in file
dbus-message.c line 2229."
