It seems yes (10 boots). Nethertheless I think it is time to report
another bug (present without this patch therefore unrelated).
Unfortunatly I have no trace because it crash my machine and I do not
manage to find it.
If I booot my debian guest with framebuffer activated after 20s to 15
minutes I see on my host screen a cloud of colorfull pixel. These
pixel flash and seems related to guest frame buffer (same colors
scheme but because it not the same resolution I can't read it). About
3s latter my box crash and is dead (cap lock does not even toggles the
keyboard led). Therefore it seems that the guest achieve to write the
host memory :-(, the good point is that he does not poke to my hard
drive registers.
This behavior is 100% reproductible. If I run the host and I switch to
the text console I can't even get a trace because the screen is
corrupted. Unfortunatly I have no serial port on this box (laptop).
