I was using 0.9.1. I should switch to git.

I was actually running it as root.

That's even stranger. libvirtd uses geteuid() == 0 to detect if it's
running as root and acts upon that. It only tries to open a UNIX
socket in the user's home (what it does in your case) when it detects
non-root execution. Something is wrong here, but I've no clue what.
