Bug Description
Binary package hint: kvm
I installed a minimal ubuntu 10.04 system on an 8GB Core i7 (quad core) motherboard with a couple of TB seagate disks in RAID1.
I stated 4 KVM VMs (created with ubuntu-vm-builder), two using virtio, two not and left spew(1) running in --read-and-write mode overnight as a stress test.
This morning I found 3 out of the 4 VMs had been killed by OOM.

I've linked this bug to an upstream bug filed against 0.12.3 (the version of KVM we have in Lucid) which describes a serious memory leak. I am also repeating the test with 0.12.4 which claims to fix the leak.
