[libvirt] error: server response too large

Hi. When trying to do a screenshot of a remote domain connected via qemu+tcp (for testing purposes only), I receive this error: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- virsh -c qemu+tcp://dev/system Welcome to virsh, the virtualization interactive terminal. Type: 'help' for help with commands 'quit' to quit virsh # version Compiled against library: libvir 0.9.8 Using library: libvir 0.9.8 Using API: QEMU 0.9.8 Running hypervisor: QEMU 1.5.1 virsh # screenshot 2 /tmp/screendump error: could not receive data from domain 2 error: packet 1048600 bytes received from server too large, want 262144 virsh # 2013-09-30 14:47:05.158+0000: 21646: info : libvirt version: 0.9.8 2013-09-30 14:47:05.158+0000: 21646: warning : virNetClientIncomingEvent:1660 : Something went wrong during async message processing ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm using Ubuntu LTS 12.04.3, latest version in the repo which is 0.9.8-2ubuntu17.13. On the server side, I'm using a self-compiled libvirt from git master. On the server, I receive: 2013-09-30 14:41:10.075+0000: 1203: info : libvirt version: 1.1.2 2013-09-30 14:41:10.075+0000: 1203: error : virNetSocketWriteWire:1446 : Cannot write data: Connection reset by peer 2013-09-30 14:41:10.077+0000: 1203: error : virFDStreamCloseInt:315 : internal error: I/O helper exited abnormally 2013-09-30 14:41:10.078+0000: 1203: error : virFDStreamUpdateCallback:133 : internal error: stream is not open I've uploaded the logs produced with LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 to sendspace: http://www.sendspace.com/file/tevueo (libvirtd.log.gz) [1MB] http://www.sendspace.com/file/rdpmrh (virsh.log.gz) [5KB] When using a non-async virStream with client library version 1.1.2, it works OK. Is this a bug in libvirt 0.9.8 or is this a regression in >= 1.1.2? I started to git bisect but ran out of time, I'm out of office till next week. Any help would be great. Thanks.
