Hi Qemu Developers !
Qumranet's Automated testing reveals, that in some cases Qemu double frees
memory and crashes.
Tested with both Qemu-CVS-2007-12-10 and KVM-56 (both Userspace-only and
kernelspace/userspace combo).
Error message:

======================================================
The error seems to be in Qemu's readline.c:
if (idx == TERM_MAX_CMDS) {
/* Need to get one free slot */
free(term_history[0]); <-- Here is the error.
memcpy(term_history, &term_history[1],
&term_history[TERM_MAX_CMDS] - &term_history[1]);
term_history[TERM_MAX_CMDS - 1] = NULL;
idx = TERM_MAX_CMDS - 1;
}
======================================================
Possible workaround:
changing in readline.c from:
#define TERM_MAX_CMDS 64
-to-
#define TERM_MAX_CMDS 4096
======================================================
This bug affects stability of testing, and at least two guest OSes are
affected: SUSE Linux 9.1 and OpenBSD 4.1. (Automated setup crashes).
NOTE: I'we been unable to reproduce this crash scenario manually. Perhaps it
requires sending a *lot* of commands into Qemu Monitor. Some commands must be
illegal, such as "-" sign.
NOTE2: Same bug in KVM bugzilla:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1851814&group_id=180599&atid=893831
Any ideas?
