[BUG] libxl_ctx_free calls close(0)

[Victor Kirhenshtein <victor@radensolutions.com>]

Hello,

it seems that libxl_ctx_free always calls close(0) for some
reason, even if libxl never opens file descriptor 0. It sometimes
closes valid descriptor in application causing random and
hard to debug I/O errors.

The following simple program can be used to reproduce this bug:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <libxl.h>

static void LogMessage(struct xentoollog_logger *logger,
                     xentoollog_level level,
                     int errnoval /* or -1 */,
                     const char *context /* eg "xc", "xl", may be 0 */,
                     const char *format /* without level, context, \n
*/,
                     va_list al)
{
}

static void LogProgress(struct xentoollog_logger *logger,
                     const char *context /* see above */,
                     const char *doing_what /* no \r,\n */,
                     int percent, unsigned long done, unsigned long
total)
{
}

static void LogDestroy(struct xentoollog_logger *logger)
{
}


int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
   xentoollog_logger logger;
   logger.vmessage = LogMessage;
   logger.progress = LogProgress;
   logger.destroy = LogDestroy;

   libxl_ctx *ctx;
   int rc = libxl_ctx_alloc(&ctx, LIBXL_VERSION, 0, &logger);
   if (rc != 0)
   {
      printf("libxl_ctx_alloc failed (%d)\n", rc);
      return 1;
   }


   libxl_ctx_free(ctx);
   return 0;
}

Strace output for it is following (I omit shared library 
loading on startup):
