This is not what I was trying to say. You got my message regarding A, but B was supposed to be understood like this. Keep the current handling for option 1, that is return -EFAULT. For option 2 do what the spec says, execute the program until the bad address and then generate a program-check (SCSW) once the bad stuff has it's turn. Thus the only change in QEMU would be handling -EFAULT with an unit check (because now it's just option 1). Halil
