Have you made any progress in further identifying or narrowing down these bugs? Detailed bug reports or, better, patches, are always more useful than general reports of issues.
This is where having a bugzilla would really help out. At this stage, I don't know that much but enough that I could enter something in bugzilla. As I learn more, we could add more detail until there was enough that someone (or I) could actually fix it.

We've not seen any bugs ourselves but obviously if it's biting you regularly then may be worth while disabling in your config. I'm loathe to disable it by default in the general config since this won't help us uncover and fix whatever bugs are present.
That's why I suggested just sending a note to the list. Bugs need to be found and that's what xen-unstable should be for. I'm happy to leave it enabled by default but wanted to let the rest of the list know that if they run into stability problems that might be a good place to start looking.

Regards,
Anthony Liguori
