Thanks, I believe this is due to the following bug:

@hallyn Thanks, that seems to be the issue, or at the very least is related to. Thanks again!

I'll leave it to you to close this out or leave it open if you want to keep this visible for others to see.

I would happily submit a patch for this; but I do not currently meet your contribution guidelines, so I wanted to go ahead and bring this to your attention.

We have contribution guidelines?

AFAIK so long as you send the patch with a valid Signed-off-by we can
apply it.

Seemed like more was required; but I hastily read that originally.

From what the bug you linked above seemed to indicate, the issue was not with LXC; so it did not seem there was a fix for me to submit in retrospect. When I get some free time (about to move from apartment to house next week; so prolly not until after that), I take a close look at this issue again and re-evaluate.

Closing the issue as my understanding is that this was caused by a kernel bug which has now been fixed.
