The ec2 issue definitely appears to not be simply accounting. Many of the
comments on this bug are not related to the ec2 issue.

John Johansen is working on this bug. He has not yet determined what the
problem exactly is. However, we do know that
 i.) running a 9.10 user space on a 10.04 (lucid) kernel exhibits the problem
 ii.) running 10.04 user space on a 9.10 kernel does not exhibit the problem.

I really wish that I could tell you what to do, and that we had a fix. We
are working on it and recognize it as a serious issue.

Personally, I'd like for you not to go looking for another distribution.
