Are you running 'xend'? The current console implementation is
blocking, and hence you could stall after filling up the buffer
if you haven't run the daemon to read it out.

It's expected that 'xend' will be run in every domain0, and will
be taking on other functionality in the future too (such as
potentially reaping dead domains).
