I narrows down the problem to be related to the use of kqemu.  Based on a 
suggestion from the maintainer of the FrreBSD port of QEMU, turning off kqemu 
support did stop QEMU from locking up like it was, although it obviously has the 
side-effect of making the emulation run a lot slower.  I can deal with that for 
now, but I suppose this just means that it's a kqemu problem and not a QEMU problem.
