Hey all,

virsh in 0.9.0 RC1 doesn't work properly.  There's a hang at
start up:

  $ virsh
  <waits forever>

Control-C breaks out ok, dropping back to bash prompt.
The pieces compiled in were:

  $ virsh -V
  Virsh command line tool of libvirt 0.9.0
  See web site at http://libvirt.org/

  Compiled with support for:
   Hypervisors: OpenVZ VirtualBox ESX Test
   Networking: Remote Daemon
   Storage: Dir SCSI
   Miscellaneous: Secrets Debug Readline

This is definitely something new.  With 0.8.8, virsh starts ok:

  $ virsh
  Welcome to virsh, the virtualization interactive terminal.

  Type:  'help' for help with commands
         'quit' to quit

  virsh # ^D
  $

Compiled with the same options:

  $ virsh -V
  Virsh command line tool of libvirt 0.8.8
  See web site at http://libvirt.org/

  Compiled with support for:
   Hypervisors: OpenVZ VirtualBox ESX Test
   Networking: Remote Daemon
   Storage: Dir SCSI
   Miscellaneous: Secrets Debug Readline

Haven't looked into this in more detail yet, but might
get time to today/tomorrow.  Kind of wondering if it's
related to the win32 prob Matthias mentioned.

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
