Collegues say that x86 does not have this problem, however on PowerPC if you:
 1) start a domain
 2) attach console
 3) destroy the domain

The xenconsole client stays connected because xenconsoled does not close
the PTY.  A character on the client will kick the close and all is
well.  Xenconsoled _does_ get the watch event, but the domain is
completely destroyed and xc_domain_getinfo does not find it to
eventually close() the PTY

It is possible that PowerPC is missing  a get_domain(), perhpas by a
resource held by xenconsoled?
Any thoughts?
