Very peculiar - the  nconnections stuff is incremented / decremented
by the xenXMOpen & xenXMClose methods. So the change you show below
should be identical to previous behaviour. Is something calling the
xenXMClose method too many times maybe ? I guess some judicious use
of syslog would show it up
