Crash happens inside the dbus-cpp worker thread with:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_
what(): Mismatch between expected and actual type reported by iterator:
Expected: string
Actual: invalid
Probably whatever is handling the Get() for the service is not checking the number of arguments when it tries to read the second string it throws an exception.
