I have the same issue. And Novell technical services is working on a fix.
The memory assigned to a domain is not returned to the system after is
killed with "destroy". After several dozen "destroy" and "start" I have to
reboot the host. An my host has 128 GB of ram.

Backend driver not cleaning up due to xend not correctly deleting a
directory from xenstore, or because of hotplug/udev script problems? There's
some interaction going on with your dom0 installation, since no one else has
seen or reported this issue.
