Dmitry, glfsheal is not supposed to be invoked directly. You need to use the `gluster volume heal $VOLNAME` CLI only. That said, the fix seems to be a good check for gfapi programs that call "glfs_new($junk_volname)" causing it to crash. Can you send the attachment as a patch for review on gerrit? The work-flow is detailed at https://docs.gluster.org/en/latest/Developer-guide/Simplified-Development-Workflow/. Let me know if you need any help.

> Dmitry, glfsheal is not supposed to be invoked directly.

If so, shouldn't it be installed to (and invoked from) ${prefix}/libexec rather than ${prefix}/sbin?

Yes, correct. Feel free to send a patch if you would like to.
