Hi folks
The Debian packages carries a patch since some time which fixes a race
condition in the xenstore startup. Sometimes xenconsoled is not able to
connect the xenstore and just exits. A second try works, so xenstored
was just not yet ready.
Proposed fix:
- xend asks xenstored to also fork, this also reparents it to init.
- xenstored delays the exit of the parent until properly initialized and
 ready to accept connections.
- xend waits for exit of this process.
Implementation: Either fork, execv and waitpid or subprocess.
