Not exactly the same, but sometimes guests end up stuck on shutdown in .. i 
thought -d---p- state and name (null).
I haven't exactly spotted when and why (although it always seem to be with 
passthrough domains in my case)

Problem with a domain in the list with name "(null)" that is .. that the 
xendomains script  bails out on shutdown before shutting down any guest (i 
seems to interpret it literally).
So it would be quite preferable that domain names do not get reset to "(null)" 
in any case ..
