My best guess just now, seeing as noone else has reported ever seeing this,
is that maybe you have a bad driver or hardware corrupting memory? Obviously
that's a bit of a stab in the dark though.

Have you seen this particular type of crash on multiple different machines?
If so, are they different types of machine?
Two machines thus far, both are of identical software and hardware
configurations.

Have you been running this type of workload on a variety of hardware, or are
you limited in the range of types of hardware that you're testing on? This
might indicate whether it is significant that you have only seen the crash
on a single hardware type.

Make that three machines. They're all of the same config. This identical hardware config runs fine under non-Xen. It also only occurs when a domain is being destroyed, so I wouldn't suspect this is a driver issue or memory corruption given the pattern. Xen is most suspect, in my mind.

Will you provide me with some debugging code that'll make these occurrences more useful in tracking down the problem the next time it triggers?
