+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #909624 +++

Description of problem:
I was trying to resize a disk image containing a Windows XP guest (single NTFS partition under MBR, aligned only at 512 bytes), and expand it from 30GB to 40GiB in the process.  Both the original and the destination reside on a remote NFS mount.  The process started just fine, and estimated about 4 hours to completion; about three hours in, the process died with stack overflow.  I was able to reproduce the crash (slightly different percent complete on retry).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libguestfs-1.20.1-3.fc18.x86_64
ocaml-4.00.1-1.fc18.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. qemu-img info lounge_c.qcow2
2. virt-filesystems -a lounge_c.qcow2 -l -h --parts --blkdevs
3. virt-resize --align-first auto --alignment 2048 --expand /dev/sda1 lounge_c.qcow2 windows_xp_c.img 
  
Actual results:
1. 
image: lounge_c.qcow2

virtual size: 28G (30000000000 bytes)
disk size: 17G

This was with fedora-virt-preview installed, so it was with:
libvirt-1.0.2-2.fc18.x86_64.rpm

This is bad!

libguestfs: uncaught OCaml exception in event callback: Stack_overflow

I will leave this program running overnight:

$ cat test.ml 
let () =
  let g = new Guestfs.guestfs () in
  g#add_drive_ro "/dev/null";
  g#launch ();

  let cb _ _ _ _ _ = Printf.printf "hello!\n" in
  ignore (g#set_event_callback cb [Guestfs.EVENT_PROGRESS]);

  ignore (g#debug "progress" [| "1000000" |]);

  g#close ();

  (* Try to force memory errors by running the GC. *)
  Gc.compact ()

$ ocamlfind ocamlopt -package guestfs -linkpkg test.ml -o test

The core file is over 26M, and over 1M when xz-compressed, so I'm having a hard time attaching it.  But from the core file:

That's definitely not supposed to happen.  Thanks for the stack trace.

BTW my simple test reproducer (comment 2) eventually dumped

although I can't exactly see where abrt hid the core dump ...
