linux-2.6.18-xen.hg tip is c/s 786

xen-19043 boots dom0linux-644 fine
xen-19109 fails to boot dom0linux-644
xen-19064 boots dom0linux-644 fine
xen-19065 fails to boot dom0linux-644
xen-19043 boots dom0linux-786 but I get no networking
xen-19109 boots dom0linux-786 but I get no networking

Has something changed in tools that might need to
be matched against latest xen and/or latest dom0, which
might explain my networking disappearance?  I'd
upgrade tools too, but that's harder to back out if
it doesn't work, and I'm not keen to reinstall this
machine from scratch right now.
