[Libguestfs] guestfsd process dead while quitting guestfish

[Richard Huang]

The messages on guest's screen:

# ./guestfsd -vr
verbose daemon enabled
linux commmand line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.5.3-1.fc17.i686.PAE

guestfsd: main_loop: new request, len 0x28
fsync /dev/vda
fsync /dev/vdb
guestfsd: main_loop: proc 282 (internal_autosync) took 0.23 seconds
read: unexpected end of file on fd 3

You can see the last line.

thanks.
