These broken pipe messages are often caused because the libvirtd daemon crashed.
 I'd suggest to look into that, run "ulimit -c unlimited", then run libvirtd by
hand, collect the core file and see what's going on.  Note that there have been
a lot of crash fixes in libvirt since 0.4.6, so you're best bet for getting help
is going to be to reproduce on newer libvirt.
