From numactl man page:

       --membind=nodes, -m nodes
              Only allocate memory from  nodes.   Allocation  will  fail  when
              there  is not enough memory available on these nodes.  nodes may
              be specified as noted above.

So you're trying to start a 4G VM, forcing memory to be allocated from a node that does not have 4G available and the allocation fails as the numactl man page says it will... sounds like notabug.  Re-open if there's something I'm missing.  I've tested using membind within the size available on my host and it works fine.

scui, pls retry w/ lower ram, and update the result here, thx.

tried with "-m 2048", no killed.
