One way that I could imagine this happening is if libvirtd runs out of file descriptors (or some other resource), and then can't accept any new connections. There have been some bugs in libvirtd that cause that, though it could equally be that your objects aren't being garbage collected by the Ruby VM. What version of libvirtd are you testing against? If it's possible, I wonder if you can force a garbage collection run in ruby and see if that frees up any resources? -- Chris Lalancette
