fwiw I noticed that with every version of FreeBSD I've run under Xen - I 
did file a PR for it a while ago...

It can often leave you to believe a command "hasn't finished yet" - e.g.

"
  tar zxf /something.tar.gz
"

Will complete, but you won't get a prompt back until you hit enter / a key 
etc. causing the screen/console to refresh under XenCenter :( You end up 
thinking your tar is still running...
