An errno=ECONNRESET received on a monitor socket reflects that the guest may have closed the socket. Today, we just mark it as a 'hangup' and do not trigger the eof callback. I've been looking at a slew of such messages in libvirt logs. If the monitor socket indicated an ECONNRESET, it would possibly make sense to mark the socket closed so that the "eof" callback may then be invoked. Is there a subtle corner case I'm missing here ?
