Should not be possible unless the dbus protocol implementation is
broken or somehow interfered with.

Is there anything unusual that could be happening?
* unusual type of processor or compiler?
* could the application be overwriting memory it should not be touching?
* some unusual type of socket or connection transport?
* writing to the dbus file descriptor from outside of libdbus?

It is difficult for anyone to help debug unless you can provide a way
to reproduce the problem, like a simple compilable test case.
