Synopsis: vmctl(8) pause never returns
This should fix it. It checks if vm id is valid before sending to vmm for pausing. The 'lock' is caused by vmm sending back ENOENT for a non existent vm but vmd drops the message because it doesn't recogize the vmid vmm is talking about. This is an artifact of the 'policy' don't trust any imsg from a sibling priv sep processes and do your own checking.
