This is just a note that the following program tickles a nasty (memory
corruptor?) bug somewhere in the open code.  I'm still trying to look
into the cause and will post a followup if I find the problem.

Rich.

  #include <libvirt/libvirt.h>
  #include <stdlib.h>
  #include <assert.h>
  
  int
  main ()
  {
    virConnectPtr conn;
  
    conn = virConnectOpenReadOnly ("xen+unix:///");
    assert (conn);
    virConnectClose (conn);
    exit (0);
  }

  $ gcc -Wall test.c -lvirt -o test
  $ ./test
  libvir: Domain error : invalid domain pointer in virDomainFree
  test: test.c:11: main: Assertion `conn' failed.
  Aborted

virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.  Tiny program with many
powerful monitoring features, net stats, disk stats, logging, etc.
