Well, ubuntu 9.10 was just released, and it is the only system
I've had this problem with.

Yea, I'm curious about those too, but I'm not really in the position
to switch the host software around a lot (though I may indeed go to
fedora 12 in the not too distant future). Not sure if I have enough
disk space to record a tcpdump :-).

Yea, I've asked over on ubuntuforums, but no response there as yet.

One thing I did was install ubuntu 9.10 on some real hardware, and
that system has run the testbeds several times with no problems,
so it does seem to be something unique to the KVM installs.
