   Hi,

How can I figure why some domain is still in zombie state, like these ones:

   master-xen root /vm/ttylinux# xm list
   Name                              ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State  Time(s)
   Domain-0                           0      574     1 r-----    90.5
   Zombie-small-11                   28        0     1 ---s-d     0.9
   Zombie-small-17                   34        0     1 ---s-d     0.5
   Zombie-small-18                   35        0     1 ---s-d     0.6
   Zombie-small-19                   36        0     1 ---s-d     0.5

I've created 16 ttylinux instances with a script, then called "xm 
shutdown -a -w", then ended up with these four Zombies ...
