I wonder if I am seeing some related problems, though I am running
5.2.11 right now and not 5.3.x:

162 is failing in this way:

-qemu-img: Could not open 'json:{"driver": "ssh", "host": "localhost",
"port": "0", "path": "/foo"}': Failed to connect socket: Connection refused
-qemu-img: Could not open 'driver=ssh,host=localhost,port=0,path=/foo':
Failed to connect socket: Connection refused
+qemu-img: Could not open 'json:{"driver": "ssh", "host": "localhost",
"port": "0", "path": "/foo"}': Failed to connect socket: Connection
timed out
+qemu-img: Could not open 'driver=ssh,host=localhost,port=0,path=/foo':
Failed to connect socket: Connection timed out
 qemu-img: Could not open 'json:{"driver": "ssh", "host": "localhost",
"port": 0.42, "path": "/foo"}': Parameter 'port' expects a number
 qemu-img: Could not open
'driver=ssh,host=localhost,port=0.42,path=/foo': Parameter 'port'
expects a number


and 147 is failing this way:

+  File "147", line 243, in test_inet6
+    if self._try_server_up(address):
+  File "147", line 156, in _try_server_up
+    self.assert_qmp(result, 'return', {})
+  File "/home/bos/jhuston/src/qemu/tests/qemu-iotests/iotests.py", line
685, in assert_qmp
+    result = self.dictpath(d, path)
+  File "/home/bos/jhuston/src/qemu/tests/qemu-iotests/iotests.py", line
661, in dictpath
+    self.fail('failed path traversal for "%s" in "%s"' % (path, str(d)))
+AssertionError: failed path traversal for "return" in "{'error':
{'class': 'GenericError', 'desc': 'Failed to bind socket: Cannot assign
requested address'}}"



I'm not sure when the failure started -- this is the first time I'm
seeing it -- I'm fairly certain I ran these tests Thursday or Friday
last week.
