There seems to be a new issue report on LaunchPad about the same (f357f564be0b) commit, stating that the removal of the assertion does not help: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1721221 (Just trying to connect the dots here; I have no comments on the commit otherwise. CC'ing Joe who has filed the LP report.) Thanks Laszlo
