           Summary: Too much data to screen in domU crashes xenconsoled in
                    dom0
           Product: Xen
           Version: 3.0.0
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux-2.6
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P4
         Component: Hypervisor
        AssignedTo: xen-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: alex.kelly@xxxxxxxxxx


Outputting large abouts of data to screen in a console seems to crash 
xenconsoled.

This was origianlly found by listing the contents of a directory in domU. This
caused xenconsoled to crash and the console to be terminated. Further attemts to
initiate a console resulted in errors about missing ttys ie.

'xenconsole: Could not open tty `/dev/pts/3': No such file or directory'

This is fixed by restarting xend to bring up xenconsoled again.

The directory in question contained ~14000 files. Echoing the contents of the
listing to a file then cating that to the screen has the same result.

Cating any largeish file to the console seems to result in killing xenconsoled
in the same way.
