dbus signallPoll() timeouts

[a.brooks2 at marathon-targets.com]

Hi,

I'm having an issue with the signalPoll() dbus method.
If I leave a computer running for a day or three, calling signalPoll() 
at ~1Hz, eventually it gets stuck in a state where my client process 
sits at 100% CPU, occasionally returning the following error message:

"Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote 
application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy 
blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection 
was broken."

Restarting my client process resets everything (without restarting 
wpa_supplicant).

I attached gdb to my process, here's where it's sitting:

#7  0xb4463a0f in dbus_pending_call_block () from 
/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdbus-1.so.3
#8  0xb4452b95 in dbus_connection_send_with_reply_and_block () from

/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libQt5DBus.so.5
#14 0xb4dc543b in wpa::WpaSupplicant::signalPoll (this=<optimized out>)

I start wpa_supplicant with '-dd', here's what syslog has to say:
Dec 21 14:55:24 x17 wpa_supplicant[21763]: dbus: 
fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1.Interface.SignalPoll 
(/fi/w1/wpa_supplicant1/Interfaces/1)
Dec 21 14:55:49 x17 wpa_supplicant[21763]: dbus: 
fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1.Interface.SignalPoll 
(/fi/w1/wpa_supplicant1/Interfaces/1)
Dec 21 14:56:14 x17 wpa_supplicant[21763]: dbus: 
fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1.Interface.SignalPoll 
(/fi/w1/wpa_supplicant1/Interfaces/1)
[ ... repeating at the same rate as the timeout messages in my client 
process ... ].

I'm using the Qt dbus wrapper obviously -- not sure if the problem is 
within wpa_supplicant or Qt (or possibly my code somewhere) or how to 
tell...

Any hints?  I've run out of ideas how to track this down any further.



Thanks in advance,

Alex
