I have tried to repeat this bug on latest snapshot of kvm, and kvm get fall in
same places.
I talked with Jan Kiszka. bt commands on three experiments in same conditions:

Bug description:
I Use Ubuntu 32 bit 10.04 with standard KVM.
I have Intel E7600 @ 3.06GHz processor with VMX
In this system I Run:
LC_ALL=C PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin
QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none /usr/bin/kvm -M pc-0.12 -enable-kvm -m 256 -smp 1 -name

127.0.0.1:0 -vga cirrus
.iso image contain custom distro of 2.4-linux kernel based system. During
install process (when .tar.gz actively unpacked), kvm dead with segmentation
fault.
And ONLY when I choose scsi virtual disk and writeback simultaneously.
But, writeback+ide, writethrough+scsi works OK.
I use qcow2. It seems, that qcow does not have such problems.
Virtual machine get down at random time during file copy. It seems, when qcow2
file size need to be expanded.
