The iohelper is an internal program that's only supposed to be called by libvirt, and whatever output it might produce will ultimately be passed to virReportError() or similar. Since we do not want strings passed to those functions to contain newlines, we can simply not output them in the first place. This is what happens in pretty much all cases already, but in a couple instances newlines have managed to slip in.
