Here is a stacktrace from the coredump.
But, today I tested again on master branch (commit eea5d63a221a8f36a3ed5b1189fe619d4fa1fde2), and every virtual machines was booted successfully.
So it seems that this bug is already fixed.
I apologize for any time you may spend for me.

Thank you for your reviews.
I think this modification might be useful for other situations.
So, I'll reconstruct this patch and submit again.
