all of the domains are working fine, it's only the w2k8test32 one that keeps 
crashing during install. I was up to well over 3000 the other day before I 
rebooted, and it was only then that I started having problems. It seems that 
every time a domain ends it leaves a certain about of cruft in the xenstore 
database, and eventually there is enough cruft in there that 'xenstore -ls' 
causes a kernel bug, and 'xm create' takes minutes rather than milliseconds to 
do anything.

The reason my numbers get that high is that I've been running 'xm save', and 
'xm restore' in a loop testing the gplpv drivers, and it routinely gets up to 
over 500 before it crashes. I think I've fixed all the crashes now though.
