Only if your VM is somehow special and does not collect garbage when  
saving. If the report above by Miguel is correct (that he simply  
loaded and saved the image) and the same does not work for you then  
it certainly must be the VM. Although I think this is rather  
unlikely. Try emptying the MC caches and saving.
