Linux host, OSX guest [no] . Mac OS X is the only operating system I know that has this problem. I am betting this is a bug with Mac OS X, not QEMU.

I am pretty sure only PowerPC and x86 OS X host have this problem. The OS X guest is PowerPC. I have not tried the x86 version yet. http://virtuallyfun.superglobalmegacorp.com/?p=267 This post and picture suggest that Mac OS X x86 as a guest does not have this problem.
