Hi all-
Running Windows 7 in KVM with -vga std, I often get VNC-related
crashes. This is easiest to trigger by changing the screen
resolution, but I sometimes get it disconnecting VNC as well.
(This is qemu-kvm. I can't get plain old qemu to work.)
This occurs in all the Fedora builds I've tried as well as in Avi's
qemu-kvm git from today.
Here's a crash from git:
Here's the crash from upstream qemu-kvm:

The crash was at qemu_free(vd->server->data) in vnc_dpy_resize.
I can't get a valgrind trace because valgrind crashes when I log into
my Windows account, which is too early for me to trigger the VNC
crash.
This is also in Red Hat bugzilla at:

I'm not subscribed, so please email me directly, and I'll be happy to
test patches or try debugging things.
