I upgraded my laptop earlier this week, some days before the final Lucid release. libvirt-bin is installed though I don't actively use it (only accasionaly for testing purposes, but atm no vm's are installed), though libvirt has been installed for a long time earlier. Problem only now arises after this upgrade to Lucid and after i left it runnig for longer than around 8 hours.

Yesterday I booted my laptop in the morning and left it running all night. This morning I came to my desk and found my laptop unresponsive, having to wait a huge time beofre being able to unlock my screen and seeing what was happening. I'm attaching the screenshot I took from top, evidence of what I think is a huge memory leak.
