with more than 20 domains, I get this:

  $ valgrind --leak-check=full ./virsh --connect test://$PWD/../docs/testnode.xml list
  ...
  error: failed to connect to the hypervisor

  ==13756== Reachable blocks (those to which a pointer was found) are not shown.
  ==13756== To see them, rerun with: --leak-check=full --show-reachable

Here's the fix:

	* test.c (testLoadDomain): Avoid leaks upon failure.
