qemu 1.0.1
spice 0.10.1

In ubuntu 12.04, I compiled qemu 1.0.1 with spice 0.10.1, and the guest os is
windows xp sp3, with spice guest tool 0.1. I playing movie in guest os, use
spicec to connect to guest, and found that the qemu continously use more and
more memory, and finally all memory was allocated, then qemu was killed for
oom.

cmd line: kvm -m 1024 -hda hd.img -cdrom xpsp3.iso -net nic -vga qxl -spice
port=5900,disable-ticketing

spicec -h 127.0.0.1 -p 5900

I found this problem in Fedora 16, and 17 beta. Then I download the latest
code, make build, and the memory leak still exist. If you start qemu with vnc
instead of spice, it runs normally, and no memory leak occured.
