I used to use docker 1.3 and it worked well. There're some problems after upgrading to docker 1.5. Is there something about my lxc? And I have tried apt-get purge lxc and apt-get install lxc to re-install it.

Try switching from lxc to native exec drivers in docker. You can do this by adding --exec-driver="native" to DOCKER_OPTS in config file ( /etc/default/docker). Native exec driver has now best support in docker and its used as default on most installations.
