Ah, the joys of C ...

I wonder if you meant to write *buf = NULL here?
Yes, indeed. I'll make that change before committing.

You'll want this one, too:

diff --git a/src/util.c b/src/util.c
index 0fa3611..01fc6e9 100644
--- a/src/util.c
+++ b/src/util.c
@@ -308,7 +308,7 @@ int virFileReadAll(const char *path,

     if ((ret = fread(*buf, st.st_size, 1, fh)) != 1) {
-        free(buf);
+        free(*buf);
         *buf = NULL;
         virLog("Failed to read config file '%s': %s",
                path, strerror(errno));

Agreed.  Dan?
