Just wanted to drop a line that the problem is still present in libvirt-bin 0.7.5-5ubuntu4.

Howto reproduce:

Simulate a crash of libvirtd:
sudokillall -9 libvirtd

Start libvirtd manually
10:08:04.344: error : qemudWritePidFile:494 : Failed to open pid file '/var/run/libvirtd.pid' : File exists

Verfify that this error is invalid, because libvirtd is really not running:
ps $(cat /var/run/libvirtd.pid)

To make it working again:
sudo rm /var/run/libvirtd.pid
sudo start libvirt-bin
