The problem was caused by two threads that both were thinking they
are having the buck and entering poll() which caused some clients to
hang. It was possible due to a race condition and therefore was not
100% reproducible. It should be fixed now with:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-December/msg00116.html
Indeed, the current git head works fine again for me, thanks a lot
for chasing this :-)
So I made an second release candidate available at:
ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/libvirt-0.9.8-rc2.tar.gz
along with rpms, I also tagged git with it.
Hopefully the builds on BSD and Windows should be fixed, it would
be good if it could be tested on OsX and since there was a build done
last month on Android, I wonder if this could be done again [1].
thanks everybody !

[1] maybe we should setup some cross compilation testing like for
cygwin...
