Actually, qemuProcessStart always calls qemuProcessWaitForMonitor with

Rather, this merely means that the if (pos != -1) statement wasn't run
when called by qemuProcessAttach.
it also means we can't allocate memory to 'buf' variable, that is,
'buf' is
a initial value NULL, however, the function
qemuProcessReadLogFD(logfd, buf, buf_size, strlen(buf)) will be called
on 'cleanup' section, null pointer passed as an argument.

We definitely have a bug here, but this is not the right fix. The bug
is that the cleanup: label is trying to read from logfd if the vm
crashed, without having opened logfd in the qemuProcessAttach case.
I think the more appropriate patch is this:
diff --git i/src/qemu/qemu_process.c w/src/qemu/qemu_process.c
index 8508ff6..1eea45f 100644

Agree, it indeed is a issue, I will check 'null pointer' issue with
thiis fixed again, to avoid some warning from ccc-analyzer, if you set
up this env, please also check it.
Thanks,
