[libvirt-users] libvir: Remote error : cannot recv data: : Connection reset by peer

I'm using Libvirt's Java API and connecting to the hypervisor using the same. My program is such that periodic discovery of active VMs is done using Libvirt's functions. However, when I try to perform any VM related operations while the Java code connecting to Qemu is running such as shutdown, start VM using virsh, I end up with : 'libvir: Remote error : cannot recv data: : Connection reset by peer' on my Java IDE and 'error: cannot recv data: : Connection reset by peer error: failed to connect to the hypervisor' on the terminal running virsh. I'm using QEMU emulator version 0.14.0 (qemu-kvm-0.14.0) and Libvirt version 0.4.7 on Ubuntu 11.04. Please help me out! Thanks.
