Hi,

When I tested xm create command, I saw the following error message. 
I expected an error message "Error: (12, 'Cannot allocate memory')" 
because I intentionally caused a memory shortage on the test. 
But the error message was different from my expectation. 

# xm create /xen/HVMdomain.1
Using config file "/xen/HVMdomain.1".
Error: an integer is required

I looked at xend.log to examine the cause why the error message was 
shown.  (Could you see the attached xend.log?) 
xend had the error message "Error: (12, 'Cannot allocate memory')" 
first.  But xend changed the error message to "Error: an integer is 
required" halfway. 
I'm not sure about the cause why an exception occurred in logging 
processing.  But when I applied an attached patch, I confirmed that 
the error message that I expected was shown.  The patch does not 
call xc.domain_destroy_hook() if self.domid is None. 

Could you comment on the patch?  I'd like to solve the problem 
because I think that users want correct error message.

 Kan
