I do agree that we need the deep copy - when we first connect to qemu,
we do a lookup to see what ptys got allocated, and modify vm->def
accordingly.  If vm->def->serials[0] is modified by the pty lookup, and
vm->def->consoles[0] is an alias to serials[0], then the allocations
that were done to modify the serials lookup have to be cloned to
vm->def->consoles[0].

Hmm.  If this strdup() succeeds,

but this fails, then the burden is on the caller to free up dest on
error in order to avoid a memory leak.  But...

at first glance, the lone caller doesn't directly free dest.  On the
other hand, the lone caller passed in dest of vm->def->consoles[0],
which eventually gets cleaned up when vm->def is freed, so you've
escaped the original leak that I was worried might exist.  However, if
qemuProcessFindCharDevicePTYs ever gets called multiple times on the
same vm->def, then the second call overwrites the pointer from the first
call, and you have a memory leak in that aspect; and since it is
cross-file between allocation and error path, it's hard to chase down.

ACK if you squash this in to avoid the memory leak (you may want to wait
for Dave to confirm that squashing this in still works in his testing):
