OK, this looks like look it got upset on the "outb" test.
Unfortunately, redirecting standard input from /dev/null causes xen not
to output any console at all.  I'm not sure how to fix this, but you can
enter names manually on the commandline to avoid running this benchmark.

It seems that your xen/start_machine script printed out extra stuff,
rahter than just the id to hand back to stop_machine.
