  Makes sense in general, we should always try to provide as much context
as possible when calling the error handler.
The only exception is maybe when creating a connection, as no error handler
could have been associated to it yet, and the failure is likely to block the
virConnectPtr from being returned (the copy in conn is then useless). But
this is a good thing to do in any case,

   thanks a lot ! +1
