Deterministic out of memory errors during boot while having a lot of free memory in host

Description (last modified by )
I have Win7 x64 host OS and WinXp 32bit guests with 1Gb memory allocated. Whenever I try to increase the amount of guest memory, the VM crashes during boot with out of memory error. Additionally, whenever I tried to run more than 1 guests at a time, I got the same error on all VMs booting up. To to start another VM, I have to close the single VM actually running and start another one, then everything works just fine. Tried continuously with recent releases, bug is present since at least 4.0. I have a Toshiba A500 with an Intel i5430M and 6GB RAM. May be related to similar tickets #7780 and #8409.

With recent release 4.1.4, the out of memory error still exists, but may occur later in the booting process, it's quite hard to tell. The original error may be fixed, but there's still issues causing the same effect. See log files for two different VMs attached right after posting this entry.

Is there any chance that this bug will be fixed? I am willing to provide any information to track it down, if a developer cares.

Duplicate of #10219, please continue the discussion there.
The log for my latest boot crash. I haven't attached a screenshot since it is blank during the boot.
