This is the cause of the "reboot loop" xend failures I reported earlier.
Note that I've only tested this patch against 3.1, however the code,
and the fix, is the same in unstable. I realise it's late in the cycle
but this bug is bad enough to need fixing IMHO.
I think the entire code segment from the point at which xstransact() is
created needs to be in a try...finally block to be safe against the
code throwing exceptions, otherwise you could very ocassionally get the
final xs.abort() being missed in error conditions.
