  Hi,

There is a use-after-free bug in xenstored.

Problem:  Handling requests for one connection can not only zap the
connection itself, due to socket disconnects for example.  It can also
zap *other* connections, due to domain release requests.  Especially it
can zap the connection we have saved a pointer to in the "next" variable.

The attached patch fixes it by adjusting the reference counting.

please apply,

  Gerd
