Bug#705124: [Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#705124: downgrading, we would like to upgrade our developers to Testing. However, this bug prevents us from doing so, and would prevent us from migrating to 7.0 when it becomes released. Pretty critical to the system's stability.

They have downgraded to Squeeze. They would like to upgrade to testing
but this issue prevents them doing do.

AIUI they are running Wheezy in dom0 and Squeeze in domU (which is where
the logs are from), in each case with the appropriate matching kernel I
suppose (so 3.2 in dom0 and 2.6.32 in domU). I infer that this issue
does not occur with Squeeze on Squeeze. I suppose Wheezy on Wheezy
hasn't been attempted?

This would be an interesting experiment. As would trying the plain
2.6.32-5-amd64 kernel in the Squeeze domU (the features of the -xen
flavour in Squeeze mostly relate to dom0 IIRC).
