Comment 8 for bug 1289898

On my RHEL 5.3 box, there are too many problems to get git work. And on the CentOS 6.4 it has many problem to get pixman, so I just can't test the latest qemu unless you also put the pixman in as 1.7.0 does.

> Bug description:
> the qemu-system-ppc64 is used to run RHEL5.9 for IBM Power on RHEL 5.3.
> Previously I was using QEMU 1.5.x for several months with no problem. But after the RHEL 5.3 host damaged, and rebuilt, now I tried both QEMU 1.6.2 and QEMU 1.7.0, found both can easily cause file corruptions. Symptoms:
>
> * using scp to transfer a tar.bz file from the RHEL 5.3 host to the RHEL 5.9 PPC VM, found the size is correct, but the content is corrupted from the middle of the 90+ MB file. re-transfer again, got a correct file. But after untar, found some extracted files corrupted.
> The extracted file corruption happened several times, and also the filesystem in the VM had corrupted several times, had to restore the boot image to recover.
