Description Petr Matousek 2013-08-12 18:16:04 UTC 
Commit 632180d1 introduced memory corruption in xenDaemonListDefinedDomains() by starting to populate the names array at index -1, causing all sorts of havoc in libvirtd such as aborts like the following

*** Error in `/usr/sbin/libvirtd': double free or corruption (out): 0x00007fffe00ccf20 ***
