From the looks of the BZ, I think the probnlem found by valgrind (not
the one in libxl) is a different than the one which causes the
'invalid free()', but anyway, I posted a patch [1] which might help
(read: fixes a problem found out thanks to the valgrind output), but I
have no way to test it. If you do, I would appreciate you trying
whether the issue gets fixed for you with that patch.
Thanks, I'll give it a try when I get the chance. I agree that none of
the Valgrind messages really point to why I'm getting invalid frees, or
why valgrind itself is crashing. The invalid memory accesses are all
reads, so while not good, don't explain the symptom.
I think SVN Valgrind has more Xen support in it, so I'm going to try that.

Thank you,
