Actually, I'd like to chime in here.
I've been reading your threads with great interest. Not because I am porting
an OS, but because we are seeing odd issues with time in our instances.
We have a xen 1.2 system. Very often, several instances stop receiving timer
interrupts. I assume this is what is happening, because time gets frozen, and
no longer advances on them.
Maybe this really is a valid bug, and has existed for awhile.
Actually, catting /proc/interrupts *does* show the interrupt occuring.
However, time is *not* advancing.

I waited 3 seconds, then hit ctrl-c
