Similar problem here. CPU usage of domU is reported at 100% and the initial=

instance of the problem is presented with continual beeping when attempting=

to console a domU (on my linux kernel with the pc speaker compiled in at=20
least).

It seems to only occur when I have a corrupt terminal. So long as I ensure =

terminal is clean before reconnecting, I don't seem to have the problem. I=
