I have encountered a situation that causes a segfault in sfcb's internal
provider. I am writing an indication provider, and using a fairly
simple python script that sets up a filter, a handler, and a
subscription to monitor my indication. This works fine. The problem
occurs when I try to unsubscribe. My indication is deactivated, but as
this is happening I see the segfault. I found this problem while
running 1.2.4, so I tested with the current cvs head and got identical
results.
Here is the stdout from sfcbd, run with no arguments.

All of the "Virt_ComputerSystemModifiedIndication.c(foo): ..." lines are
debug lines from my provider. It seems to be receiving the deactivation
correctly from sfcb, but the segfault causes the subscription, handler,
and filter to not be removed correctly. Generally, I have to run
"killall -9 sfcbd && sfcbrepos" to get things back to a working state.
The indication provider itself is not doing anything complicated. It
just sets up a simple event loop that doesn't do much of anything other
than wait to be deactivated.
Now for the XML that our python script uses to set up and tear down the
filter, handler, and subscription. My apologies for the length. I
grouped the creates with their respective deletes for ease of
comparison; the order we actually run them in is CreateFilter,
CreateHandler, CreateSubscription, then DeleteSubscription,
DeleteHandler, DeleteFilter.
