This looks like you have passed a cpus configuration entry that is empty, or
has an empty part -- it should be a comma-separated string something like
"0,1,3-4,6", but it looks like you've written "0," or just the empty string.

Does that make sense?

The fact that this is failing so badly is a bug in XendConfig, and it looks
like it's still present.  I'll fix it.

Ewan.
