FYI, this was confirmed to be happening with 5208R and 5209R.   The root 
cause was the systems were hosted on an Aventurin{e} node that had not 
been rebooted in 2 years.  Therefore, the kernel running kernel was 
quite old.

Migrating the virtuals to an alternate node on a current kernel solved 
the problem, and made the primary node available for rebooting without 
downtime to the virtuals.
