Description Richard W.M. Jones 2010-10-04 13:37:37 UTC 
Description of problem:

libvirt allows you to create a domain with " (double quote)
in the name.  However the qemu driver will not let this
domain be started.  It says:

$ sudo virsh list --all
 Id Name                 State
----------------------------------
  - "                    shut off

$ sudo virsh start \"
error: missing "

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

libvirt-0.8.3-2.fc14.x86_64
qemu-0.13.0-0.7.rc1.fc14.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put <name>&quot;</name> in the libvirt XML.
2. Define the domain (should succeed).
3. Start the domain (fails).
