For those not following in the bug, the libxl driver executes
'/usr/sbin/xend status' and refuses to load it xend is running.  The
problem here is that the status check causes xend to start!  I can't
reproduce the issue, so perhaps it is specific to the fedora packages.

It is specific to the Fedora package. I traced it to the xen-initscript.patch file in the Fedora source. From xen-3.1.0-2.fc8 onwards Fedora xend ignores the option passed to it and just does a start. It was from before I started doing things on the package, but idea seems to have been to strip out functions like stop, reload etc. and do them directly in the init script.

I don't think it is worth changing this much, but I think I will put back the status option to keep libvirt happy.
