I get the same error under very similar conditions: Host is Athlon II X3 400e (triple core), host OS is my own DIET-PC embedded platform, 2.6.34.1 x86_64 kernel with x86_64 userspace. Qemu- kvm compiled myself from official qemu-kvm-0.14.0 sources Debian Lenny, against spice / spice-protocol 0.6.4, using:
export CFLAGS='-O3 -m64' ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-mixemu --disable-brlapi \ --disable-vnc-tls --enable-system --disable-linux-user \ --disable-curses --audio-drv-list="oss sdl" --enable-io-thread \ --disable-vnc-png --enable-vnc-thread --enable-spice \ --audio-card-list="ac97 es1370 sb16 cs4231a adlib gus hda" \ --target-list="i386-softmmu x86_64-softmmu arm-softmmu mips-softmmu mipsel-softmmu ppc-softmmu ppc64-softmmu sparc-softmmu sparc64-softmmu" Guest is Windows XP SP3 (uniprocessor), crash with exact same error as above occurs when attempting to install qxl 0.6.3 spice driver on the guest.
