With debug level logging, although more verbose there's nothing that

So we're passing invalid FDs to poll() function.  I can't think of
anything else than bisection or pausing the process around
vireventpoll.c:644 (the call to poll()) and checking what the FDs point
to, which one is the invalid one and then going back to see how it got
there, what is it, who forgot to delete it and so on.

Gah.  Sounds like I may need to go and relearn GDB.  Not quite sure I'm
motivated enough tbh.  We'll see... :)


Did this not happen with the release candidates?

As far as I know, on OSX people mainly use virsh.  eg for connecting to
libvirt on Linux/BSD/whatever hosts.  So libvirtd support may or may
not have been working for a while.  I don't know, as I only tested
virsh when updating the recent Homebrew port. ;)

But last night I had the realisation that libvirtd itself might work too
since it functions on the other BSD's.  So, took a few minutes to try
it out.  Without QEMU installed, libvirtd doesn't error out like the
above.  That only happens when QEMU is around.  So, it's related to that
somehow. :)


Sorry for not replying for a while.  Unfortunately I have no new info
about this and why it might be happening.  Did you get any further?


Does it happen every single start?

Yeah, completely reliable.

One other weirdness showed up too, probably not related though.  Without
QEMU installed, when starting up libvirtd with -l enabled (for listening),
it exists complaining about missing cert file.  That in itself is not
surprising... except it happens even when TLS is disabled is in libvirtd.conf.

According to the wiki, turning off listen_tls + turning on listen_tcp should
stop the need for cert files:

 http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/The_daemon_cannot_be_started

Does that sound like a bug too, or more like the wiki is out of date? :)


If you have no certificate installed and you have listen_tls=0 and
listen_tcp=1, it should not be a problem.
