Package: qemu
Version: 0.9.0-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

The following steps used to work fine for me in 0.8.2-5, but fail with current 
version of qemu.

- Create a raw image with: qemu-img create -f raw temp.img 5G
- Run a Windows XP installation CD (probably others as well) using: qemu -hda 
temp.img -cdrom somewinxpcd.iso -boot 
- Format all available space with NTFS (quick format should be sufficient)

Result: Windows aborts formatting with error
Happens: always
Related:
A raw image with an existing Windows XP installation (size ~12G) freezes qemu 
at start-up, consumes 100% cpu, has to 
be killed using ctrl+c

I voted for grave, as raw is default for qemu-img create.
