9a3ff01d7f16cc280ce3176620c0714f55511a65 (which was ACKed at
the end of January, but for some reason didn't get pushed until during
the 1.0.4 freeze) fixed the logic in virPCIGetVirtualFunctions().
Unfortunately, a typo in the fix (replacing VIR_REALLOC_N with
VIR_ALLOC_N during code movement) caused not only a memory leak, but
also resulted in most of the elements of the result array being
replaced with NULL. virNetDevGetVirtualFunctions() assumed (and I think
rightly so) that virPCIGetVirtualFunctions() wouldn't return any NULL
elements in the array, so it ended up segfaulting.
This was found when attempting to use a virtual network with an
auto-created pool of SRIOV VFs, e.g.:
<forward mode='hostdev' managed='yes'>
<pf dev='eth4'/>
</forward>
(the pool of PCI addresses is discovered by calling
virNetDevGetVirtualFunctions() on the PF dev).
