Apply this patch and run a patched libvirt daemon. Then start a VM and kill it's process after few seconds: # virsh start VM & sleep 3; killall -9 qemu-kvm Upstream version doesn't crash but the virsh command returns cryptic error message: error: invalid argument: monitor must not be NULL 0.10.2 and similar downstream versions segfault: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
