Hi,

as there were recently few questions about KQEMU I decided to dedicate 
few minutes at answering them and to post a few comments.

 > I'm trying to find out why qvm86 crashes the host (instant reboot 
when right clicking on some icons on the guest desktop).

update qvm86-win32.c

No, I wrote both of the files and I can honestly tell you that copying 
between them will not help. There is one known case where QVM86 on WinNT 
platforms crashes the host machine and that's when NOEXECUTE support is 
enabled (see boot.ini). The method QVM86 uses for executing the code 
involves copying executable code into an allocated page which 
unfortunately has the NX bit set. I have an experimental fix for this, 
but I need someone with adequate environment (AMD64 and Win XP SP2+) to 
test it... Of course host crash can be caused by other bug.

(Also note that this may apply to KQEMU too though I have no proof.)

You can compile it yourself on either Windows machine with MinGW or on 
linux machine with MinGW cross-compiler. I'm temporary hosting a set of 
QEMU / KQEMU 0.7.1 for Windows binaries here: 
http://www.volny.cz/xnavara/qemu-0.7.1.zip. If anyone can offer me 
hosting for these binaries I would be glad.

As a final note (especially for Fabrice), attached are patches for KQEMU 
for easier driver installation (quite not there yet, but a bit closer) 
and implementation of kqemu_schedule (as requested). I'm planing to port 
this to QVM86 shortly.

Best regards,
Filip
