I have been using the vtpm_manager without any problems, and it works
fine to kill it with control-c (see my attached log file). I can start
and stop it frequently like that, and it never shows me any errors.

It would eventually be helpful to know some more details on what you're
actually doing, how you've taken ownership of the TPM, what TPM you're
using, and also what Xen and what vtpm_manager version you run. Also, I
would recommend to forward this problem to the xense-devel list, as you
would be much more likely to find help from people on that list.
