Comment 59 for bug 955379

Thanks for that test case; unfortunately it works fine for me (both with current git master and with commit b66e10e4c9ae7384).

Can you tell me what host machine you're running this on, and in particular whether it is 32 bit or 64 bit? Commit b66e10e4c9ae7384 will fix this hang for x86-64 (64-bit intel) hosts, but it will only be fixed for 32-bit intel hosts by commit 3e904d6ade7 (which also fixes this for aarch64, arm, ppc64 and s390x hosts).

If you are using a 32-bit x86 host that would explain the failure-vs-success that you report in comment #56. I suspect from looking at the qemu binaries that were in your test case tarball that you are using 32-bit.
