Of course, in my monitoring thread I'm checking in every monitoring

vm.migrate(), there still a reasonable chance that migrate() just
invalidates the current domain while I'm accessing it, no matter
what I do.
At the C level every API in libvirt is threadsafe. The only key point
is that if you use objects (eg virDomainPtr) from multiple threads
you ought to hold an extra reference on them (virDomainRef) per
thread to ensure that one thread does not delete an object that is
in use by the other thread.
At the Java level, this reference handling ought to be working
automatically so you wouldn't need todo anything special to safely
do migration with 2 threads as you describe. So I don't really have
any explanation for what you see.
I think that gave me a drift to the right direction, thanks. I'm using
an additional, temporary domain (java) object in the monitoring thread
now. The testing isn't running for a long time yet, but it looks
promising. It's been a while since I poked around in libvirt-java, but
could it be that per domain java object, a reference is held?
