[libvirt] error: failed to connect to the hypervisor

Hi I am running kvm-78 with libvirt 0.6.1 and see the following error from time to time when my linux-ha cluster tries to run "virsh domstate" to figure out a virtual machine's state: error: failed to connect to the hypervisor In syslog, I see: libvirtd: 23:39:11.357: error : Failed to set close-on-exec file descriptor flag Due to this error, the cluster assumes the machine is not running okay and reboots it in order to fix things. This happened twice in 2 months with 10 machines being queried like that each minute (read: not too well reproducable) What is this and how could I work around it or is this fixed in newer versions and so worth an upgrade? Regards Dominik
