Is this plain 3.6.0 or do you have any patches on top of it (e.g. some
in-house patches)?

Dunno, this is the first time I hear about this issue. Maybe you can try
to set a break point on virHashIterationError() and when it's hit get
stacktrace of all threads 't a a bt'. That might shed more light into
the issue. Smells like we are not locking somewhere properly.

Also, you might want to try the latest release of 4.2.0 and see if the
bug still reproduces.
