Thanks for that. I guess the length parameter mustn't be verified or I
would have crashed...

I'm just setting up a few new servers and on one of them a Windows
2008R2 machine hung and there were lots of xenvbd errors in the logs.
The underlying block device for that DomU is iSCSI and I assumed the
problem was there (I was doing a lot of testing on the SAN at the time)
but maybe not.

No evidence of problems in /var/log/xen/qemu-dm-<domu name>.log?
