Thanks for the report.

Did this used to work in the past? If so what is the last version that
worked?

I assume the reboot is required to trigger the bug? ie. if you unplug
without rebooting it doesn't crash?

It's not hung here, it's just not executing what we want it to :)

If you break into the qemu monitor and issue `info registers` it should
give you some idea of what's going on.
