That's curious.  Keir, do you know of any bugs which could cause domU
misbehaviour like this?

Have you tried any other distros?  I'll try to repro with a current Xen
and my Fedora system.

It would be helpful if you could try 2.6.30/.[1-4] as well to see if the
problem arises.  I'm trying a bisection myself, but it sounds like I
shouldn't be able to repo it.
