This is regarding a long unresolved issue with HVM qemu-dm crashing under 
heavy Dom0 IO load.

I decided to make a new thread on this seeing that I found many old ones 
scattered about with no resolution: 

Here are old threads regarding the same/similar issue 

http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2007-08/msg00135.html 
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2007-07/msg00624.html 

Old bug reports of the issue: 

http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=542 
http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1038 

In 1038, spam@xxxxxxx _incorrectly_ reports it is fixed in 3.1.1 -- Not only 
can I find any evidence of this, I can EASILY reproduce the crash over and 
over with 3.1.3-rc2. 

I have a dev. Xen box available for anyone who wants access for stack 
traces, ect.

Unfortunately I myself do not have enough knowledge to find the problem 
myself, however I am available to instruct on how to produce the bug, run 
stack traces, help organize this effort, and provide unrestricted access to 
this dev machine if needed.
