I perfectly understand that, it just makes debugging hard when you don't
have a specific suspicion nor the problematic image.

Do you need those diagnostic patches from me or will you try to put
debug messages into the code yourself? I would just start putting in
random printfs into alloc_cluster_offset() and the functions it calls to
get some information about the failing write. I guess we'd need some
iterations with my diagnostic patch and it wouldn't be any better than
ad-hoc hacks done by yourself.

Avi mentioned the patches in the kvm-84 announcement yesterday, so it
seems they are not in kvm-83.
