[virt-tools-list] Getting a segfault when trying to install SCO V on EL6.5 (worked before)

Hi all,

   I've installed SCO V a few times before on EL6.5 (both CentOS and 
RHEL proper). Today though, on CentOS 6.5, I've getting a segfault 
error. I was hoping someone here might have some insight. It's worth 
nothing that I successfully installed a CentOS 6.5 VM immediately after 
without issue. I also tried installing SCO on both nodes of a 2-node 
cluster, identically configured, and got a segfault on both machines.

   I'm wondering if this is related:
