I left it drift a bit, but I was starting to look again at it when I saw 
this patch, particularly as it suggested to me a different way to cause 
problems from the guest - have a huge kernel file and a missing ramdisk so 
you might get pygrub to backtrace and is a good chance the temporary 
kernel file won't get deleted.
