From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange(a)redhat.com&gt; When the auto-destroy callback runs it is supposed to return NULL if the virDomainObjPtr is no longer valid. It was not doing this for transient guests, so we tried to virObjectUnlock a mutex which had been freed. This often led to a crash. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
