The stack trace indicates that the path came from the XML document
parser. This code snippet you show here though only runs when
if (chr->type == VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_TYPE_PTY) {
For the PTY type chardevs, it is not valid to specify or parse a
pty path from the XML. This is an output-only attribute, not under
user control. So I think it looks like the parsing code is wrong,
not this monitor code.
