I inspected the logs, and it was the OOM-killer. Should it ever happen
when saving a guest domain? Xen host has 256 MB RAM for dom0 (3 GB

It appears that saving of HVM somains needs more memory: in this
particular case, when I increased memory for dom0, about 350 MB RAM was
used in total during the domain save.
 
 
That's kind of surprising, but I guess totally plausible if you don't
configure a swap partition for dom0?
 
 
No - dom0 has a 2 GB swap partition.
 
 
Hmmm... That's not so explicable. Obviously something in save/restore is
causing unpageable allocations to happen. Could be pagetables for mappings
of HVM guest memory, or something like that. Needs investigating further, I
think.
 
 
Could be.
 Now that I repeated the save/restore a couple of times, total RAM usage 
for dom0 jumps to ~700 MB sometimes during domain save (dom0 has now 
about 2.3 GB RAM, domU has 1.7 GB RAM; 4 GB RAM installed now in the 
machine).
