This one's nasty. Ever since we fixed virHashForEach to prevent
nested hash iterations for safety reasons, virDomainSnapshotDelete

it deletes children, while leaving grandchildren intact but pointing
to a no-longer-present parent. But even before then, the code would
often appear to succeed to clean up grandchildren, but risked memory
corruption if you have a large and deep hierarchy of snapshots.
I also still saw errors in libvirtd logs

Ouch; I can reproduce. I guess I didn't test this one as thoroughly as
I had planned, and this is indeed a bug in my 'forEachDescendant'
iterator. I'll post an update once I figure out where I went wrong.
