It does indeed fix the failure on domain shutdown, but there is still
a problem related to high volumes of console output.  If I get on the
console and execute:

while true ; do echo -n "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy
dogs.  The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs.  "; done

and exit the console while the output is spraying, I still see a
failure:

 the lazy dogs.  The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs.  The
 quick brown fox jumped over t
virsh # console foo
error: failed to get domain 'foo'
error: An error occurred, but the cause is unknown

virsh # console foo
error: failed to get domain 'foo'
error: An error occurred, but the cause is unknown

virsh # console foo
error: failed to get domain 'foo'
error: no call waiting for reply with prog 536903814 vers 1 serial 6

virsh # 


BTW, I noticed this first when exiting the console while boot messages
were being output; I'm not *trying* to break it, and many thanks for
looking into all this.  :)
