Comment 26 for bug 574665

I've taken the proposed patch from http://marc.info/?l=qemu-devel&m=127436114712437 and applied it to lucid's qemu-kvm. The resulting source is at https://code.launchpad.net/~serge-hallyn/ubuntu/lucid/qemu-kvm/virtio-corrupt and the package is building in ppa:serge-hallyn/virt.

Could you please test the package in ppa:serge-hallyn/virt and let us know if it fixes your problem? It may not be sufficient since we're not starting from 0.12.4, but hopefully this patch suffices.
