The brk security exploit can enable a particular domain to be
compromised, but that should *not* effect other domains -- Xen
is designed to provide secure isolation.

We'll skip straight to 1.2. We'd like to have some more people
test the 'unstable tree', and then we'll release it as 1.2 and do a
new CD. Any volunteers???
