Hello, I was attempting to pair a set of Motorola S9 headphones using bluez 4.7 and received the following crash. Attached is the output of 'bluetoothd -nd' under gdb, with a bt. I also included the output of "dbus-monitor --system sender='org.bluez'". I made the following patch and thought I'm sure it's not the right fix it allowed me to pair/play sound though the S9. diff -Naur bluez-4.7/src/dbus-common.c bluez-4.7-work/src/dbus-common.c ---
