No. I only have one, and this instance of dbus-daemon is launched the
first time Gnucash is run (step 3).

If I run Gnucash.app again (anytime after step 3 and before step 5),
it fails both if I don't kill the dbus-daemon and if I kill it. In any
case the error message is the -ps_foo message.
Also, Gnucash.app doesn't start a new dbus-daemon when it fails.
After having replaced Gnucash.app with a new copy from the .dmg file
(step 5), the dbus-daemon gets a new process ID everytime I run
Gnucash.app, but only one instance of the dbus-daemon is active at any
time.
