The fix makes sense - on the put side, you pass 'short' to a var-args
function, which gets promoted to 'int', so the va_arg must grab the
value from the promoted type.  But on the get side, you pass 'short*' to
a var-args function, which is used as-is, and if you tell dbus to deref
an 'int*', that would explain the stack-smashing.  But yeah, waiting for
a build confirmation never hurts.
