Restarting xend was a bit of a brave move. Although its intended
to be restartable, there are definitely bugs in the restart code,
particularly if you have domains in unusual states at the time
(e.g. crashed, awaiting reaping). Error case code is always the
least tested...

As to why the domain wouldn't be destroyed, that may turn out to
be a useful clue as to the resume problem at its root. If we
could get a crashdump from a known kernel image I'm sure we can
fix this pretty easily.
