Fix leak of remote driver if final 'CLOSE' RPC call fails
When closing a remote connection we issue a (fairly pointless) 'CLOSE' RPC call to the daemon. If this fails we skip all the cleanup of private data, but the virConnectPtr object still gets released as normal. This causes a memory leak. Since the CLOSE RPC call is pretty pointless, just carry on freeing the remote driver if it fails. * src/remote/remote_driver.c: Ignore failure to issue CLOSE RPC call
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
