It's not xend that's the problem, but something in the tty driver
in xenolinux. To be honest, we can't make head nor tail of the
Linux tty code, and have no idea why resizing etc doesn't work.
We're probably just not setting some parameter some
where. However, we appear to be 'bug compatible' with using a
serial console on RH9.

Perhaps someone on xen-devel knows about tty's and could take a
look ???

That won't effect things, as xend is just an 8bit clean pipe.
