Hi Nigel, Dustin,

great, thanks!! i installed the two libvirt{0,-bin} packages from
Maverick and testing right now.

Sadly the memory leak is still there for me...  If i leave the unmodified 
      /lib/udev/rules.d/95-multipath.rules
in operation the memory usage of libvirtd grows around 15M in 1 minute!!
Removing the 'change' action in  95-multipath.rules of course helps a lot to reduce the leak (in that case kernel/udev trigger "only" two events every 15 seconds with our hardware...).
