+[libguestfs] If qemu process is a shell script, then it is not cleaned
+up correctly, even on "good" exit.  This is because we need to set up
+a new process group (see commented code for doing setpgid).
+[fixed? - added documentation in the manual page that you have to
+do 'exec qemu' in the wrapper.  However I still notice that the
+recovery process kills qemu, instead of it being killed by the
+parent process, or at least that's what I think is happening]
+
+[libguestfs] Some occasional data corruption, certainly on tgz-out.
+Try using tgz-out on a very large directory.

+[inspector] If there are missing Perl module deps, it still
+configures the inspector.  (eg. if perl-Sys-Virt is missing).

+[build] "exec: chroot not found"
+Setting PATH to include /usr/sbin solves this temporarily.

+[libguestfs] FileOut parameters can cause
+"internal error: reply callback called twice"
+This bug is rare but well-understood.  Unfortunately it's also
+quite hard to fix cleanly.
+
+[libguestfs] write-file does not support strings containing ASCII NUL.
+
+[perl] Perl bindings cause a segfault when you call any command which
+takes a StringList (eg. $g->command).
