[Xen-devel] xend falls over *a lot* in past 2 weeks

[Sean Dague <sean@xxxxxxxxx>]

Starting about 2 weeks ago Xend has started to fall over a lot doing what
should be normal actions, so much so that our xm-test suite more or less
fails all the tests as it keeps apparently knocking over xend on relatively
simple operations like create, and list.

What is most bizarre now is this "no such process" error generated by Xend. 
Here is a segment of our xm-test results that shows this:

...
[dom0] Running `xm create /dev/null ramdisk=/root/xm-test/ramdisk/initrd.img 
kernel=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-xenU root=/dev/ram0 name=default memory=64'
Using config file "/dev/null".
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/xm", line 10, in ?
    main.main(sys.argv)
  File "/root/xen-unstable/dist/install/usr/lib/python/xen/xm/main.py", line 
724, in main
    handle_xend_error(argv[1], args[0], ex)
  File "/root/xen-unstable/dist/install/usr/lib/python/xen/xm/main.py", line 
162, in handle_xend_error
    raise ex
xen.xend.XendProtocol.XendError: (3, 'No such process')
Unable to create domain
...

Any thoughts on why this is might be the case?

There is no silver bullet.  Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
