[libvirt] [Libvirt] segfault with patch "libxl: fix framebuffer port setting for HVM domains"

[Chris]

Hello,

I encountered segfaults with libvirt + libxl with this specific patch :
http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commitdiff;h=b55cc5f4e31b488c4f9c3c8470c992c1f8f5d09c

My Libvirt/Xen environment (on a slackware64-14.1) :

virsh # version
Compiled against library: libvirt 1.2.6
Using library: libvirt 1.2.6
Using API: Xen 1.2.6
Running hypervisor: Xen 4.4.0

My Libvirt "configure line" :
./configure \
   --prefix=/usr \
   --libdir=/usr/lib64 \
   --bindir=/usr/sbin \
   --sbindir=/usr/sbin \
   --sysconfdir=/etc \
   --localstatedir=/var \
   --mandir=/usr/man \
   --docdir=/usr/doc/libvirt-1.2.6 \
   --enable-static=no \
   --enable-shared=yes \
   --with-yajl \
   --with-qemu-group=root \
   --with-init-script=none \
   --without-xen \
   --without-xenapi \
   --with-libxl

</domain>

The VM starts fine with "virsh start" (cf attached libxl log), the VNC process is listening as requested on 0.0.0.0 but whenever I open a new virsh cli and send a command (e.g. "list"), libvirtd segfaults. I attached a gdb trace to this mail.
If I rebuild libvirt without the patch mentioned earlier, no more segfaults, but of course the VNC process is listening on 127.0.0.1 instead of requested 0.0.0.0 when I start the VM.

I may have done something wrong but don't understand what.

Regards,

Chris
