There is an odd relationship between hitting the send button and epiphanies.

Show_guest_stack says the eip is 0 and the stack has eflags, eip, and
CS over and over and over again. That would indicate that I'm running
off my stack by trapping over and over again. However, I don't have
traps or callback handlers installed. What may be happening is xen
setting up a trapframe and then jumping to failsafe callback - over
and over again because jumping to failsafe callback itself causes a
page fault. In this case the eip is legitimately 0 - but not because
of me but because xen isn't checking that I've actually set my
failsafe_callback. I'll go look at FLT14 again to see if I'm on the
right track.
