Hi All I also meet this issue. I have two computer, one is Win7 32 another is Win7 64, Both computer meet this issue. My QEMU version is qemu-w32-setup-20160215
I want used EDK2 OVMF with Intel UDK Debugger tools to do source level debug I had install com0com Virtual Com Port, and set COM3 connect to COM4 Intel UDK Debugger tools used COM3 QEMU run OVMF used COM4 First execute Intel UDK Debugger tools, then launch QEMU C:\Program Files\qemu\qemu-system-x86_64.exe -bios "C:\EDK2\Build\OvmfX64\DEBUG_VS2010\FV\OVMF.fd" -serial COM4 Then QEMU crashes on stratup I have do some experiment Execute terminal tool Tera Term and used COM3 launch QEMU and used COM4 C:\Program Files\qemu\qemu-system-x86_64.exe -bios "C:\EDK2\Build\OvmfX64\DEBUG_VS2010\FV\OVMF.fd" -serial COM4 This is fine and i can see OVMF trace log on terminal But if i press "Down" key on terminal, then QEMU crashe It's caused by terminal send data("Down" key) to QEMU Have somebody can share some information about this?

The host system is Windows 7 64bits. I'm excuting the following statment : qemu-system-x86_64w.exe -hda debian.img -m 256 -net nic -net tap,ifname=TAP32 -soundhw all -serial COM9 Qemu starts the emulated Debian and it runs correctly. If I try to send data from Windows using COM9 to QEMU (both "real" or emulated by the COM0COM driver), QEMU crashes. Windows dump available if required. If I try to send data to /dev/ttyS0 (that should be the Linux side of COM9) from Debian, again, the wirtual machine crashes.
