Okay, I've attached the patch that seems to be working so far:
connecting to fedora, rhel, and debian all work, no hanging nc instances
(spawned by virt-manager at least). Probably only applies against upstream.

I'll take a look at making a similar change in libvirt. Will also help
to detect the nc '-U' option for libvirt which has been a user annoyance
for quite a while.
