Re: [Qemu-devel] multiple tun/tap instances no longer working

[Rick Vernam <rickv@hobi.com>]

in vl.c, it looks like tap_open is called with an uninitialized ifname - 
instead of ifname[0] == '\0', or a valid ifname, it is a bunch of gibberish - 
in my 
case, "ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ"

I'm not all that great with gdbg yet, so it might take me a while to figure 
out where the bad call to tap_open is coming from...
