The last couple of days I have been slowly enabling more and more
collectd plugins, and now I have a full set of plugins enabled and my
KVM guest is stable. I upgraded KVM from the version found in kernel
2.6.25 to 71. That must be that what fixed the problem. I am not going
to downgrade and verify that, though. Lenny will ship with 2.6.26, so I
will test that.

As a side-note, the memcached plugin keeps giving timeout errors
(intermittent). Is there any way of increasing the timeout value? I have
already increated the number of threads.
