[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#507650: virsh console just hangs, cannot connect

[martin f krafft]

Package: libvirt-bin
Version: 0.5.0-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/virsh

I have a test domain with

    <serial type='pty'>
      <target port='1'/>
    </serial>

and kvm properly starts it with -monitor pty and -serial pty. When
I run 'virsh console' on it, virsh just hangs and cannot be
stopped/interrupted with any of ctrl-c/z/\. SIGTERM works. Strace is
attached (search for "HANGS HERE").
