Bug Description
In the libguestfs driver for Nova VFS, certain errors in the setup method can cause a libguestfs process to remain running, even after the VM is terminated and/or the method that spawned the libguestfs VM has finished. These processes become zombies when killed, and can only be destroyed by restarting nova-compute.
In the particular issue encountered, when using gluster as a cinder backend and attempting to launch a VM before adding a keypair, the error would occur. However, it is feasible that the error could occur elsewhere.
