No, except to say that it is almost certainly a dom0 kernel issue, not core
hypervisor. So it will not be fixed by just changing hypervisor version if
you retain the same dom0 kernel version. What kernel are you using? Have you
tried a vendor Xen kernel for your distro?

I think there have been reports of this problem with our 2.6.18-based
kernel, but noone has provided a patch to fix it as far as I know.
