Hello,
   I just had this exact problem, had about 8, Domain-24 - Domain-32 all
unkillable. Had to shut down all running domU's, xend restart, and then
there were still some left, so without any domU's running do
xm destroy <domain>
til they are all gone, I was able to clear it all up w/o rebooting the dom0
and restore full functionality.
   If anybody has Idea's on why this might happen I'd love to know as well.

Regards,
John Fairbairn
