That is old enough to suffer from the issue I described.
I'd strongly recommend upgrading to something newer, such as the drivers
supplied with the XCP 1.0 beta. The beta designation does not apply to
the Windows driver component of this release, they are a GA version of
the drivers.
http://www.xen.org/files/XenCloud/Software/xcp-1.0-beta/
The drivers are in XCP-1.0-base-38754.iso
as /client_install/windows-pvdrivers-xensetup.exe
If you want a Free alternative then there are GPL Windows PV drivers
available also: http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/XenWindowsGplPv
As far as the Debian bug goes I will apply my fix to correctly drop the
invalid SKBs so that they do not cause the warning in dom0.
Ian.

We don't really understand it, so we'll give it to the programmers.
