Which xenstored implementation are you using? In general I would expect
relative watches to work correctly. I looked briefly at the C xenstored
and it appears to (at least be trying to) do the right thing here.

Are you running this code in dom0 or domU?

If it is domU which Xen release is libxenstore you are linking this code
against against from? Which Xen release is your xenstored/dom0 running?

How are you opening your xenstore connection? i.e. which specific
function call, xs_open, xs_daemon_open or xs_domain_open?

Did I understand correctly in your original message that basically the
same code using select() works ok?

In another mail you wrote:

I guess this is a typo in the email rather than the actual code, but
"looping2" never appears in this snippet -- you have "looping1" twice...

Ian.
