There's now only a single guest running on this host (Ubuntu Maverick).
I've also upgraded the host kernel to 2.6.38-rc6, and this just
happened (after a day or so):

We have a quite complex network stack, two interfaces (igb) attached
to bond0, with on top two bridges and on that two vlans.
The guest is running a vpn and an IPv6 tunnel.

Let me know if more info is needed.

Kind regards,
