I just "upgraded" from QEMU 6.1.0 to 8.1.3 only to find that the -serial telnet/tcp option is no longer working. The following message is printed, and there's a 'connection refused' with the telnet program. Nmap shows no ports open.
qemu-system-x86_64: -serial telnet:127.0.0.1:1800,server=on: info: QEMU waiting for connection on: disconnected:telnet:127.0.0.1:1800,server=on What gives?
