Hi (cross post I know),
there is a bit of a "somewhat dup" context around the list of the following 
bugs:
- bug 1646779
- bug 1643911
- bug 1638982
- bug 1673483

Unfortunately, I’ve never hit these bugs in any of my libvirt/qemu runs
and these are literally thousands every day due to all the automated
tests. I also checked with our Ubuntu OpenStack Team and they didn't see
them so far either. That makes it hard to debug them in depth as you
will all understand.

But while the “signature” on each bug is different, they share a lot of things 
still (lets call it the bug "meta signature"):
- there is no way to recreate yet other than watching gate test crash statistics
- they seem to haunt the openstack gate testing more than anything else
- most are directly or indirectly related to memory corruption

As I’m unable to reproduce any of these bugs myself, I’d like to get
some help from anyone that can help to recreate. Therefore I ask all
people affected (mostly the same on all these bugs anyway) to test the
PPAs I created for bug 1673483. That is the one bug where thanks to the
great help of Kashyp, Matt and Dan (and more) at least a potential fix
was identified.

That means two ppa's for you to try:
- Backport of the minimal recommended fix: 
https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/2620
- Backport of the full series of related fixes: 
https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/2619

Especially since the potential error of these fixes refers to almost
anything from memleak to deadlock there is a chance that they all might
be caused by the same root cause.
