Thanks Herbert -
As best I know, I'm using the standard Debian Squeeze kernel (notably, this isn't happening on all guests, but is on one that I use a lot for testing, restart it frequently). Is there a way to fix this? Change the default time out time (and how?), or somehow force clean up on the guest?
