Description of problem: libvirtd in F12 leaks pretty bad when you make invalid requests against the daemon. For example, try doing # virsh dominfo 0 in a loop on a machine running qemu/kvm hypervisor. Dan tells me that this is fixed by the following upstream commit: commit c6f1459eb998619ab21a92d9bb87341f26978181 Author: Matthias Bolte <matthias.bolte> Date: Wed Sep 30 02:17:27 2009 +0200 Fix memory leaks in libvirtd's message processing http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=c6f1459eb998619ab21a92d9bb87341f26978181 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-0.7.1-10.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: Run this command as root several times, or in a loop: virsh dominfo 0 Check the output of 'top' to see libvirtd growing in size.
