Hello.
Unfortunately, you are not the first one, who experience problems with Trinity running in KVM.

copy_msg() won't be called unless you'll specify the MSG_COPY flag in msgrcv() flags parameter.

Could you make a small investigation around the problem?
For example, does this problem appear, is you disable CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE config option?
