Indeed, the current git head works fine again for me, thanks a lot
for chasing this :-)
So I made an second release candidate available at:
ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/libvirt-0.9.8-rc2.tar.gz
along with rpms, I also tagged git with it.
Hopefully the builds on BSD and Windows should be fixed, it would
be good if it could be tested on OsX and since there was a build done
last month on Android, I wonder if this could be done again [1].
Thre is something very broken in the RPC code when an event loop
is activated, which is resulting in frequent crashes. Fixing this
is a release blocker IMHO.
Attaching a demo program which crashes 50% of the time or more with
GIT head.
