Just for the record: there are a lot more known issues.
Here is a small extract:

- SDL (zooming) and VNC both access uninitialized memory.
   SDL even writes out of bounds. Valgrind finds both kinds
   of defects easily.

- There are still several known memory leaks. For some of them
   patches were already sent to qemu-devel.

- There are known deficits in the emulations. Even the x86_64
   system emulation which is one of the best maintained emulations
   still causes a blue screen when running a 64 bit Windows guest
   in TCG mode, for example.

A lot was already done, but there still remains much work to be done :-)

Cheers,
