Even if you don't have a Mac, you can retrace this bug by following
these
links:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/
ApplicationKit/ObjC_classic/Classes/NSEvent.html#//apple_ref/occ/
instm/NSEvent/characters

characterAtIndex:
[event characters] returns an empty string for dead keys, and so
calling
[[event characters] characterAtIndex:0] will raise an
NSRangeException that
crashes qemu. The following patch fixes this bug:
To Mike Kronenberg: Q has the same problem. Pressing a dead key in the
monitor locks the emulation and you're not able to do anything
further.
Would you be so kind to confirm this? It seems that Fabrice doesn't
trust
my fixes. Thanks!

Thanks for this correction,
it does indeed fix the dead key issue which I was not aware of, when
I wrote that code to retrieve isochars. (I have no dead keys on my PB
Keyboard :) )
Fixed this in Q. But the next Build will have to wait a little, since
we have some other Problems on OS X.
Maybe You can help us out a little with this:
When running DOS/DOS Prompt under windows under QEMU, I experience
crashes all the way.
With freedos I have figured out, that loading himem or xms will crash
QEMU (Option 1). Option 3 (no Drivers) works. So it could be a memory
mapping issue... DOOM crashes half way down.
This behaviour was introduced with the new MP Code. It's not related
to cocoa.m, it also happens with SDL. I have the same Result with
Tiger and Panther. There are no public builds yet... that would
generate to much mails :)
Maybe You could just reproduce this issue?
Mike
