I can never tell whether the versions match up or not.  I did a clean
build and it appeared to do some git pulling.

But I just did an specific "git pull" in ioemu-remote, and the behaviour
has changed.  Now with a vfb it seems to hang forever: the domain
appears to boot, but there's no console output, and it doesn't seem to
have brought up its network.  There's nothing on the vfb either. 
/local/domain/$DOMID/serial/0/tty has /dev/pts/1, which the xenconsole
process has open.

If I remove the vfb in the config, it works as expected.
