Characters pasted to console lost

Characters pasted to console lost

[Peter]

Hi.

I xm console to a domU.  Open a vi session.  Then paste some text (a 
setup script, about 5KB).  Not all the text is pasted, some middle and 
end parts are lost.

Is anyone else experiencing this or can someone try to reproduce this 
now for themselves?  Are there any obvious things I can do to fix this?

Xend's console code is known to have issues with high data rates out of the 
domain - I imagine it might also drop stuff if you try and input at a high 
rate (as in X11 pasting).  (that's an educated guess, btw ;-)

The plan is to split out the console stuff as a separate driver before 3.0.  
Hopefully when that gets done, some issues like this could be addressed too.

Pasting over ssh should work fine, though.
