The only other explanation I can think of is that you tried to run two instances of kvm, and when second instance initialized it re-created the monitor socket but failed later (eg, when initin network or something else) and exited, but left the "stray" socket (JFYI, you can remove a unix-domain socket where some process is listening, and create another - that one will really be different socket, even if named the same way, -- just like you can re-create a plain file the same way). In any way, there hasn't been any problems/bugs in that area for ages. /mjt -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
