Using following C code does not work.  The domain starts but does not
suspend.  When I call virConnGetLastError() error->code is 0 and
error->message is NULL.  I ran my code with LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1.  The output is
below the C code.


I was able to suspend the guest with virsh.  The guest was started with my C
code below.  You should be able to suspend the guest at any point, correct?

virsh # suspend 65
