That's a known issue in kdb. Like I mentioned in my kdb presentation, I'm still
trying to get the timer stuff right, hopefully, in next release I'll have it
figured out and fixed. 
I am sure that is not the cause of your dom0 crash. Like I had mentioned in our
offline emails, kdb is not properly tested on 32bit hyp, so the crash could well
be something kdb related that needs to be investigated.

Thanks,
Mukesh
