i have observed this behavior as well, running 4.0_BETA 20061026
with xenkernel30-3.0.2.2 and xentools30-3.0.2.2 on an AMD Athlon
2000+

My testing has not been nearly as rigorous, i simply have noticed
'xen console foo' can cause this behavior if there are a lot of
messages on the console, or if i paste in large amounts of text.
