I'm very surprised. dnsmasq is not listed in the dependencies of libvirt as
far as I know. I was guessing that it's a "nice to have" package, to enable
DHCP IP distribution to guests. But even if it doesn't exist, I shall
normally be able to assign static IP addresses manually to my guests.

So if the system crashes due to dnsmasq, I would call it a bug instead.

Nevertheless, I'll try to compile this package for our distro and see what
happens.

I'll keep you posted, thanks again a lot for your interest.
