[Libguestfs] guestfsd crashes when the handle is closed

Hello,

I launched guestfsd in my guest with this command : guestfsd* -rv*.
When i close the handle the deamon crashes.

This is the output i got (Deamon side) :
                             guestfsd: main_loop : new request, len 0x28
                             fsync /dev/sda
                             /dev/sr0 : No medium found
                             guestfsd : main_loop : proc 282
(internal_autosynx) took 0.19  seconds
                             *read: unexpected end of file on fd 3 *

I got the same error with both ubuntu12.04 and fedora 20 guests. I know
that in ubuntu the guestfsd version is quite but fedora 20 has 1.26
libguestfs version i think.

Any help would be match appreciated !
Thanks !

*Note : *BTW, although i think it's guest side problem, this are details
about the host : Fedora 20 , guestfish
1.26.1fedora=20,release=2.fc20,libvirt

Can you attach a debugger to it and find out where it crashes or
exits.  Something like:

  # gdb /usr/sbin/guestfsd `pidof guestfsd`
  (gdb) break exit
  (gdb) cont
  ... when it exits ...
  (gdb) bt

As discussed on IRC, guestfsd is single-threaded at the moment, but
one of the jobs for 1.28 is to add support for multiple parallel
connections.

Rich.

As for parallel connections,  we are looking forward for 1.28 :-).
Meanwhile we are trying to test things with a single handle.

Thanks !
