Bug Description
Binary package hint: kvm
Hello!
KVM quite frequently segfaulting. This segfault occured twice within a 3 days(freebsd 6.2 i386 as guest):
Apr 6 18:06:03 t-x kernel: [696152.848709] kvm[2706]: segfault at 29c ip 0000000000431879 sp 00007fffc8296040 error 4 in kvm[400000+1e1000]
Apr 9 23:47:54 t-x kernel: [47546.239426] kvm[2790]: segfault at 29c ip 0000000000431859 sp 00007fffde8025b0 error 4 in kvm[400000+1e1000]
And I tried to run JeOS as "kvm -m 128 -smp 1 -drive file=disk0.qcow2 -curses" in screen. Then I came back to server I saw this string:
"Segmentation fault" and relevant string in dmesg:
[95718.809774] kvm[28765]: segfault at 4e0 ip 00007f7f57b61011 sp 00007fff6179edd0 error 4 in libncurses.
I'm using jaunty AMD64 with all updates on dual xeon L5410 server.

Looks like a problem in curses.
Do you get the segfault if you leave off the -curses option?
