This is https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92074 which was
fixed in dbus-daemon 1.10.24. Please use the latest release from whichever
branch you are following: that currently means 1.10.26 for the 1.10.x
old-stable branch, 1.12.6 for the 1.12.x stable branch, or 1.13.2 for
the development branch.
