------- Comment #3 from henning_sprang@xxxxxx  2007-02-19 04:02 -------
I'm closing this bug in the course of 2007 bugzilla spring cleaning.
Nobody has dealt with this bug, and there exists no patch, and it's quite
similar to the problem that more than 3 vif are generally not supported.

It's not exactly nice that a domU crashes  when more are specified, but it's a
minor thing, as specifying more than 3 is useless anyway.

Let's handle this in bug 470, which deals with the enhancement of xen to
support more than 3 vif. 

Or, a new bug should be filed for better error handling: the xm tool could
check if more than 3 vif are specified and exit with an error message if so.
This should be a small patch to the python code.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 470 ***
