Summary: Latest qemu-system-i386 for Windows fails with an assertion (qemu-coroutine-lock.c:99) if something more complex than the BIOS is executed. It works when it is configured with --enable-debug. This behaviour is identical for 32 bit and 64 bit executables and can also be reproduced using Wine. Older versions also fail, but with SIGSEGV instead of an assertion. This is the result of git bisect: 402397843e20e35d6cb7c80837c7cfdb19ede591 is the first bad commit commit 402397843e20e35d6cb7c80837c7cfdb19ede591 Author: Paolo Bonzini <pbonz...@redhat.com> Date: Tue Feb 19 11:59:09 2013 +0100 coroutine: move pooling to common code The coroutine pool code is duplicated between the ucontext and sigaltstack backends, and absent from the win32 backend. But the code can be shared easily by moving it to qemu-coroutine.c. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonz...@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefa...@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kw...@redhat.com> When I configure latest QEMU with --disable-coroutine-pool, it works! I'll build new installers with this option until there is a bug fix available. Thanks for your bug report. Stefan
