When I executed the following command with Xend of Fedora7 after I
confirmed dom0-min-mem was 256MB, the host stopped. 

#virsh setmem 0 4096
 -->When I execute virsh setmem 0 256, the host doesn't stop. 

The setting is not effective in Xend. 
So, after investigating Xend, I report again. 

Thanks,
Masayuki Sunou
