Yep, it was an amusing bug: A test had been added to try and make guest
kernel developer's lives easier by crashing the kernel earlier if they
were causing a jump to an unitialised handler. However, the test was
botched and was looking at the wrong register. The net result was that
any user application jumping at zero would cause Xen to decide to
terminate the whole domain :-)  This only effected recent unstable
builds.
