Description of problem:
libvirtd hangs when an attempt to set the number of virtual CPUs for a shut-off KVM guest is made.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-0.6.0-3.fc10.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. testguest is a previously installed KVM guest domain. It is not currently running.
2. virsh setvcpus testguest 1

Actual results:
virsh hangs. I can kill it CTRL+C. If I then run "virsh", it hangs too. "/etc/init.d/libvirtd restart" brings it back to life.

Expected results:
The number of VCPUs for testguest should be set to the desired value and it should not take longer than a fraction of a second.

Additional info:
virsh setmem and setmaxmem operations work fine, they do not make libvirtd hang.
