And, now it has crashed.  So whatever the issue is, the
kernel-2.6.18-308.1.1.el5 does not fix it.  As suggested on the RHEL5
list, I have shifted the problem VMs off of the virtio disk driver and
to the standard driver.  you do this as detailed in this mail:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/rhelv5-list/2012-March/msg00017.html

We will see if this fixes the issue.

I have created an upstream bugzilla entry here:
