In the reference implementation, _dbus_send_credentials_socket() sends the
nul byte and _dbus_read_credentials_socket() receives it; both are implemented
in dbus/dbus-sysdeps-PLATFORM.c (where PLATFORM is unix or win, as
appropriate).

It sounds as though the eCos port you're using is buggy and does not implement
the spec'd wire protocol. If you submit portability patches via
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/ we can hopefully integrate them into mainstream
D-Bus with proper code review.
