We dropped networkReportError and use virReportError instead. Moreover, you miss "%s" there: virReportError(VIR_ERR_SYSTEM_ERROR, "%s", _("blah"));

This check is useless since VIR_FREE(NULL) is safe.

Well, I am not sure if we can do this. What would happen if some of our users rely on this already? I mean, it's there since ages. Michal
