Thanks.

IMO this patch should be considered for backporting, too.

Ian.

Subject: [PATCH] libxl: Do not generate short block in
 libxl__datacopier_prefixdata

libxl__datacopier_prefixdata would prepend a deliberately short block
(not just a half-full one, but one with a short buffer) to the
dc->bufs queue.  However, this is wrong because datacopier_readable
will find it and try to continue to fill it up.

Instead, allocate a full-sized buffer.
