Re: [Xen-users] Quirky Bug: "cat /dev/urandom"

Since Xend handles console output, splurging huge amounts of text to the
console is probably breaking it. (which is still a known issue, AFAIK)

Does the domain actually keep outputting to the console?  Can you disconnect
and reconnect to the console?  What happens then?

Cheers,
Mark
