[Qemu-devel] qemu-system-sparc io-thread segfault on win32

[Bob Breuer <breuerr@mc.net>]

I'm getting a segfault from qemu-system-sparc with the io thread enabled
on win32.  This is with the latest mingw (gcc 4.6.1).  mipsel also
fails, but i386 is ok.  I haven't checked any of the other system
targets, but they might also show this problem.

git bisect points to commit cea5f9a cpu-exec.c: avoid AREG0 use, but
that would seem to only expose the bug instead of creating it.  In
cpu_exec(), assigning any valid pointer to ebp before setjmp will get it
working again.  It looks like a bogus value in ebp at the time of setjmp
will cause longjmp to abort on win32.

Here's some output from gdb for the crash:
