Connecting to a debian system? I just tried using the attached patch on top of
latest git (not my patches):

Running virsh --connect URI to a debian lenny system, then invoking 'quit',
leaves 'nc -U' processes running. 'quit' doesn't hang like it does with
current git, but the nc process isn't closed on the remote host.

Any recommendations?

Cole
