This happened again today.  :-(

I guess something triggers an ACPI event (or something like that) which is
never properly handled and the events eat up all memory..  There's nothing in
/var/log/messages and the console was flooding with the ACPI Exception
messages.

Dom0 had 512 MB (it now has 1024 MB but I'm pretty sure that won't help).

Any ideas, anyone?
