  I have been confused about ballooning on dom0 for a while, so
 this looks like a good time to ask it.

  I have dom0 with ~1Gb of memory.  (About 900Mb as shown in 'xm list'
 once it is freshly booted.)

  I start a guest, and that gets decreased as the memory is allocated
 to domU:

 Name                                        ID   Mem
 Domain-0                                     0   735
 etch32-builder.my.flat                      24   128

  After a while I shutdown that guest and I expect the memory to
 be available to dom0 again - but it never is.  I see dom0 left
 with the reduced ~700Mb.

  Is that expected?

Steve
