Public bug reported: qemu 1.5.2-1 dumps core when asked to put the monitor on a virtual console. For example, suppose you want to monitor the second serial port, you might try something like:
qemu-system-x86_64 -serial null -serial mon:vc But that creates a core dump. In fact, even re-creating what should be the default dumps core: $ qemu-system-x86_64 -serial mon:vc:80Cx25C Segmentation fault (core dumped) I'm not including a backtrace because the bug is so easy to reproduce, but I can provide more info if necessary. ** Affects: qemu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1210212 Title: qemu core dumps with -serial mon:vc Status in QEMU: New Bug description: qemu 1.5.2-1 dumps core when asked to put the monitor on a virtual console.
