minimal installation of F16. There are multiply errors in logs: 09:51:34.859: 18344: error : virSysinfoRead:465 : internal error Failed to find path for dmidecode binary libvirt doen't require dmidecode.
I am finding this dmidecode error occurs at a similar time as when Bug #757382 occurs. In Fedora 16, dmidecode isn't installed by default. It could be that this results in the failure to finish forking (assumed failure) in Bug #75382.

Eric, Note I have been running with Daniel's original patch for about a week and no lockups occur.

We should backport this patch to F16: commit e7dfa468f9de796430a4cc9594eb256109a517bf Author: Eric Blake <eblake> Date: Mon Dec 5 10:32:41 2011 -0700 spec: add dmidecode as prereq https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=754909 complains that because libvirt didn't require dmidecode, that the logs are noisy and virConnectGetSysinfo needlessly fails. Even 'virt-what' requires dmidecode, so it's not that onerous of a dependency. We may be able to drop this in the future when we move to parsing sysfs data, but for now, listing the dependency will help matters. * libvirt.spec.in (Requires): Sort Requires before BuildRequires. Add dmidecode.
