most probably

    Bug 1142647 - supervdsm leaks memory when using glusterfs

which would be fixed in ovirt-3.5.1. Unfortunately, it won't be released
today - the released date has been postponed to Dec 9th.

Since the two glusterfs issues (memleak and segfault) repeat so often,
I've tagged vdsm-4.16.8 as a release candidate for ovirt-3.5.1.

Sandro, could you help in building it and placing it somewhere for
people to try it out? After all, it has 87 (!) patches since 3.5.0, so
testing is due.

Dan.
