Look at the announcement that *just* came out in the last hour, with the libX11 bugfix. <https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2011-1351.html> says "Previously, in the 64-bit mode, libX11 computed addresses using the 32-bit arithmetic. As a consequence, under heavy load, applications running in the X environment terminated unexpectedly. A patch has been provided to address this issue, and the crashes no longer occur in the described scenario."

And, Mark, thanks for mentioning it.
If this isn't my lucky day. RH and Centos solved my problem even before I defined it.
I saw the update earlier and didn't dare hope. I updated and it seems to have solved the issue. On the host machine, I fired up virt-manager, started the Fedora guest and it's been up for a half hour.
Now I, too, can start complaining about Gnome 3. I've read it's like Windows, but it's the spitting image of the Mac OS.
I spoke too soon. Crashed again after being up for several hours. I'm running memtest86 now.
After memtest found no errors, I gave another shot at looking for a software reason for the crashes and found the cause.
I hadn't mention that I messed up the bridge setup. I didn't think that could lock up the host machine, but it did. Once I had the bridge fixed, the crashing stopped and network has been working on the guest. So it was my bad there.
I thought that an incorrect network config would only affect networking, but it was causing a kernel panic.
