Hmmn, typical console message, nothing of value for us here.

Sorry, I was talking about the Xen 3 index error. I am not familiar with 
Xen 2 enough to help on that one.

Looks weird though, network_handler seems to be called with a null 
argument. I don't quite understand how it could happen here in the 
stack, especially at ilevel 4 (IIRC, it is softnet level). Maybe the 
backtrace from ddb is incorrect?
