Package: xen-hypervisor-4.1-amd64
Version: 4.1.4-2

This is related to Bug#699237: Huawei E220 does not work under Debian Wheezy

Mainboard Gigabyte Z77X-D3H, 32GB RAM

Xen dom0: Debian Wheezy
3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.35-2 x86_64 GNU/Linux - affected
3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.39-2 x86_64 GNU/Linux - affected

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 12d1:1003 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E220 HSDPA Modem
Modem is redirected to HVM domU:
Debian Squeeze
2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Mon Feb 25 00:26:11 UTC 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Modem works correctly for a few days then becomes unoperational and
gammu-smsd generates lots of errors:
Mon 2013/03/18 11:44:37 gammu-smsd[1802]: Starting phone communication...
Mon 2013/03/18 11:46:03 gammu-smsd[1802]: Error at init connection:
[..] (TIMEOUT[14])
Mon 2013/03/18 11:46:03 gammu-smsd[1802]: Already hit 250 errors

During this state qemu-dm process grows and dom0 starts to swap.

Resetting modem at dom0 side and adding again to domU makes it work
but only reboot of DomU releases memory.

Please let me know if You need more information.
