  OK,
    well after a couple of hours of running 'valgrind' on a massive
piece of code I have had no problem at all.
    Maybe something has change - but it is not in libvirt/kvm, there
have been no fedora changes there in the last few days. Unless it is the
guest, but that seems unlikely - it should not be allowed out!
