It seems people are busy on other things, so I am trying to track this
down myself. I put some instrumented code into DevController.py, and
it seems that the bug is caused when the console took too much time to
process the request put into Xenstore (?).

Is that because xenconsoled doesnt handle the request, or by something else?

Anybody could give me some hints where to look at, so I can continue
to chase this bug?

I am using Ubuntu 9.04, python 2.6.2, if that matters.

BTW, my xend-debug.log has following messages. I am not sure what that
means, and if it is important to this bug, or not.

Thanks,
J
