Hi, Tristan,
        Good news anyway, however I'd like to suggest adding either domU or 
domVTI running together with dom0, while on different physical processors. Most 
host SMP bugs we sent out recently are only seen with multiple domains on 
different processor. Idle domain is special which may shade some potential SMP 
issues there. ;-)

Thanks,
Kevin
