The address (rip) is the same as before, so it's repeatable. I was using 0.12.5 for this, with 0.14 it's impossible to do anything after the "Emulation error" anymore, it spews these error messages too fast. What interesting is that there's some race condition somewhere there: I tried 4 times, first the guest just suddenly rebooted right after system_powerdown (not shut down, it was a sudden reboot), next it went into the above situation, next (after restart) it rebooted again, also suddenly, next it come into emulation error. It can do one or another, more or less randomly, but the above emulation error is quite a bit more common.
