After upgrading to lxc 0.7.5 the problem is still there:
I cannot start any container and there is no (log) output at all. For
every lxc-start command I get a new veth interface and the lxc-start
process is not killable (uninterruptable waiting for IO).

At this point I gave up and tried the Windows problem solving methode:
rebooting (the host server).

After reboot, I can start and stop containers without any problems.
Everything works fine, as it should.

I am not happy with this state: I do not know what went wrong and I have
no solution if this problems reappears, besides rebooting, which will
terminate all other container VMs, too. This is a NO-GO for a production
environment!

I have now installed linux-image-server-lts-backport-natty (Linux 2.6.38)
and hope (*) this fixes the bug.
