So, it seems that setting "dynamic_mt_modes" actually did the trick, the host is no longer
crashing. However, I have observed on two occasions now that the build VM is just suddenly
off as if someone has shut it down using the "force-off" option in the virt-manager user
interface.
Not sure why that happens.
