Hi! I'm sometimes getting segfaults when I kill qemu. This time I caught it when qemu was under gdb: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Not sure what the right fix is here: should we stop kvm after main loop has exited? -- MST -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
