Well, in 8ad126e6 we tried to fix a memory corruption problem.
However, the fix was not as good as it could be. I mean, the
commit has one line more than it should. I've noticed this output
just recently:

The problem is, when registering remoteClientCloseFunc(), it's
conn->closeCallback which is ref'd. But in the function itself
it's conn->closeCallback->conn what is unref'd. This is causing
imbalance in reference counting. Moreover, there's no need for
the remote driver to increase/decrease conn refcount since it's
not used anywhere. It's just merely passed to client registered
callback. And for that purpose it's correctly ref'd in
virConnectRegisterCloseCallback() and then unref'd in
virConnectUnregisterCloseCallback().
