In the libvirtd log you will find the exact origin of the error. Can you
share it with us? On a linux system it is very unlikely a process will
get an OOM error (unless you played with overcommit ratio). So maybe we
have a bug in our code. However, the VirtualBox driver is quite big so
narrowing location down to a few lines would be great.
