[libvirt] libvirtd (from git) no longer responds to 'kill'

It used to be that you could kill a session libvirtd using eg: killall libvirtd lt-libvirtd However with upstream libvirt from git today, this no longer appears to work: $ ps ax | grep libvirtd 4240 ? Ssl 0:05 /usr/sbin/libvirtd 18492 ? Sl 0:00 /home/rjones/d/libvirt/daemon/.libs/lt-libvirtd --timeout=30 18775 pts/10 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto libvirtd $ killall lt-libvirtd $ ps ax | grep libvirtd 4240 ? Ssl 0:05 /usr/sbin/libvirtd 18492 ? Sl 0:00 /home/rjones/d/libvirt/daemon/.libs/lt-libvirtd --timeout=30 18785 pts/10 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto libvirtd $ killall lt-libvirtd $ ps ax | grep libvirtd 4240 ? Ssl 0:05 /usr/sbin/libvirtd 18492 ? Sl 0:00 /home/rjones/d/libvirt/daemon/.libs/lt-libvirtd --timeout=30 18799 pts/10 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto libvirtd Is this new brokenness, or was this never meant to work in the first place? BTW this libvirtd process is pretty persistent. I sent it a whole variety of signals, and only 'kill -9' worked.
