You did, indeed.  Even nicer ;-)

I was going to ask why you are using saferead, then realized that *I*
suggested the s/read+EINTR/saferead/ change.  Now, while re-reviewing this,
I wondered if we could get rid of the 8KB stack buffer and encapsulate
the above loop -- at the expense of allocating the memory instead -- by
using e.g., virFileReadAll.  But virFileReadAll operates on a file name,
not a file descriptor.  So I wrote/factored a couple of wrappers, and now,
with the following patch, you can use this:

  char *help = NULL;
  enum { MAX_HELP_OUTPUT_SIZE = 8192 };
  int len = virFileReadLimFD(newstdout, MAX_HELP_OUTPUT_SIZE, &help);
  if (len < 0)
      goto ...
  ...

Then add this somewhere after done with "help":
  VIR_FREE(help);

Go ahead and commit your changes.
After you do that, I'll rebase this and propose a complete patch.
