The compiler should be whining about this; the second arg is an int and
ARRAY_AS_STRING is a pointer.

Don't know what info[i].data is, but remember from the docs:

 * The "value" argument should be the address of the array.  So for
 * integer, "dbus_int32_t**" is expected for example.

If you get a backtrace from this and then look at the relevant source
code, you can probably get some idea what's wrong.

There should be another warning printed right before that one explaining
what was wrong with the iter...
