Re: xen 3.2 various issues.

[Deuce <the_deuce@yahoo.com>]

Are you building Xen as 32bit?  I was having issues with qemu-dm dying after similar VNC password messages logged.  Switching to 32bit PAE builds resolved the qemu-dm crashes.

This was with an xen-unstable post 3.2.  I don't know if 3.2 itself is affected by the same problem.
