I tracked the problem down to an 'incompatibility' in bridge/uClibc/kernel.
0.9.6 uses its own if_indextoname function which uses the SIOCGIFNAME ioctl which works with the kernel.
Version 1.x uses the libc if_indextoname (here uClibc) which uses the SIOCGIFCONF ioctl and scans the if list to resolv the name for an if_index.

Lots of IFs in /proc/net/dev

are loads of them? Should they all be there ?
I''m using the same kernel for dom0 & domU.
