I haven't had any memory problems at all with xen-create-image. I
suspect this may be a Gutsy issue with the beta versions they are
using. I don't think the Ubuntu kernel guys track the upstream closely
enough... at least kvm/qemu seems to be broken as a result, and I
can't see any reason why xen would be any better.
Cheers
Anton
