Bug Description

The release version of libvirt-0.7.5 suffers from a bug that causes it to segfault on the first connection attempt from each virt-manager launch. The upstream bug report for this is:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=556815

There is a patch referenced in the report that fixes the issue. I've attached it to this report. From what I can tell the version planned for Lucid does not include this change.

I can't reproduce this, but the patch is sane so I'll apply it.
