When adding domainMemoryStats API support for the qemu driver, I didn't follow the locking rules exactly. The job condition must be held when executing monitor commands. This corrects the segfaults I was seeing when calling domainMemoryStats in a multi-threaded environment. If this patch is accepted, I would also consider it a candidate for the 0.7.6 stable patch stream (if such a thing exists). Thanks.
