Crashing the libvirtd daemon is not your fault ! It is supposed to be
completely robust against whatever bad stuff the client may throw at
it. So even if the client has a bug, then it shouldn't crash the daemon.
If possible it'd be helpful if you can get a stack trace from the daemon.
You can do this by stopping the demon '/etc/init.d/libvirtd stop' and
then running it under GDB directly
'gdb /usr/sbin/libvirtd'
make sure you have libvirt-debuginfo RPM installed if using Fedora, or
have built with '-g' debug option if built manually.
Actually now that I remember, there were a definitely a couple of
libvirtd crashing bugs in the 0.6.0 release. So well worth upgrading
before trying to debug this in any detail

I'd recommend updating to the latest libvirt 0.6.2 release that should be
available in rawhide now. It fixed quite a few crashes & leaks, which
you may be unlucky enough to be hitting
