Heh...ok, well, we rebooted the box, and of course the problem went away.

However, now I notice my problem description is wrong. I connected via
strace to the now working process and note that it also continuously spits
out gettimeofday messages, but that intermixed are calls to poll:

gettimeofday({1132084397, 346225}, NULL) = 0xen.xend.server import SrvDaemon
gettimeofday({1132084397, 346536}, NULL) = 0= SrvDaemon.instance()
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=6, events=POLLIN},
{fd=10, events=POLLIN}, {fd=15, events=POLLIN}, {fd=18, events=POLLIN}],
6, 178) = 0
gettimeofday({1132084397, 534960}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1132084397, 535283}, NULL) = 0

So apparently, whatever our problem was caused by led to this poll() call
not being called.

Anyone have any ideas what I might look at? I'm hunting down the SrvDaemon
code currently to try get some insight, but if you have any ideas in the
meantime it would be appreciated.

Thanks,
John
