I have the same problem. I'm using the packages from the Sergei ppa with spice enabled on a server with 9 windows xp machines and 1 linux (ubuntu 10.04) one. Ubuntu is rock solid and never crash, but the windows machines do randomnly. I've updated everything i could (using the version from spice-space.org), i've disabled the memory ballooning, disabled spice etc... but it's always the same. It just crash with that message.
I guess it's a driver problem. I've searched on google and found some clues (there's a guy porting spice drivers to BSD and got that problem and could resolve it). If i can do a test that helps, here i am. I've tried a few things but i'm out of ideas. With my test, the only thing that all the machines had always enabled is the virtio storage driver. I've tried disabling the network one and the memory one but no luck, so maybe it's related to the harddisk controller. (i can't disable it because windows doesn't like to mess with the hard disk controller, you know).
