[libvirt] Application using libvirt crashes when having concurrent TLS connections (gnutls problem)

[Thomas Treutner]

Hi list,

I was wondering about the status of this bug:

	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=512367

Is it correct that this is a bug in the libvirt client? I ran into this today, 
as I've written a kind of a VM scheduler (ressource requirements, placement 
etc.) in Java (libvirt-java 0.3.0, libvirt 0.6.5) and this is a show-stopper 
for me right now. I had some troubles with the newest version of libvirt (it 
couldn't connect to Xen IIRC), so I don't want to mess my setup again for 
nothing.

What is actually causing this problem resp. in which situation is libvirt 
broken? When a client uses more than one connection at the same time? Or when 
a client uses more than one connection to the same server at the same time? 
Are there any recommeded workarounds?


TIA & kr,
thomas
