Chip, One other item I neglected to mention was that clock sync, at least for Xen system VMs, wasn't an issue in the Jan-Feb timeframe. Previously when I encountered these issues, syncing the host's clock and rebuilding the system VMs addressed the issue. I assumed, but never verified, that the SSVM was syncing back against the host's clock through hypervisor. During my testing yesterday, aside from hard setting the clock, I was unable to force clock sync on the SSVM.
