Thanks for trying the patches out.

That doesn't look good.  And if you roll back the patches, doing the
above works without issue?  I'll see if I can lock up my box using xm

In any case, I'd be interested in seeing the 'H' and 'u' (heapinfo and

-d -1 (dump the heap and the memory to node mapping of all running
domains).
