Bug Description
With a recent update from 2.7.0 to 2.8.0 I have discovered that I can no longer send a "break" to the VM. Ctrl-A b is simply ignored. Other Ctrl-A sequences seem to work correctly.
This is on a NetBSD amd64 system, version 7.99.53, and qemu was installed on this system from source.
Reverting to the previous install restores "break" capability.

I am also seeing this problem. In case it was not clear from Paul's original report, it affects guests using a serial console.
Also, it is not specific to NetBSD. I can reproduce it using a Linux guest on a Linux host, by running the following on a Debian 8 system:
wget http:// landley. net/aboriginal/ downloads/ old/binaries/ 1.4.5/system- image-i686. tar.gz image-i686. tar.gz
tar xfz system-
cd system-image-i686
sh run-emulator.sh
and typing Control-A b m once the guest has started.
Using qemu 2.1.2, this successfully causes the guest to print a memory usage summary. Using current qemu sources from git (dbe2b65566e76d 3c3a0c3358285c0 336ac61e757) , nothing happens.
