This patch seems to do a bit more than it claims ;-) I just noticed that after a rebase a few minutes ago, all options I have that uses this type of port syntax: -serial telnet:ip:port -serial tcp:ip:port -qmp ip:port started to ignore the port argument and instead provide a dynamic port. Rebasing without this patch fixes the issue, Thanks, Knut > > Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
