Sorry Dan, I didn't mean to sit on this patch.  The thing is, it solves the
problem by making sure that SrvDomain can cope with stale domains being returned
by XendDomain, but I _really_ don't want XendDomain to be returning stale
information in the first place.  I've been trying to decide how easy it would
be to fix the underlying problem -- if it's going to take a long time, then I'll
apply your patch as a workaround, but I hope to solve the problem more
definitively.

If I haven't fixed it by Monday, I'll apply your patch.

Thanks,

Ewan.
