           Summary: Windows XP Guest crashes when doing recursive grep in
                    a Clearcase environment
           Product: Virtualization
           Version: unspecified
    Kernel Version: 2.6.32-22
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: high
          Priority: P1
         Component: kvm
        AssignedTo: virtualization_kvm@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
        ReportedBy: msalame@msn.com
        Regression: No


I have the following problem reproduced on  centos6 and RH6. 

When I am doing a recursive grep on my Clearcase view using a 3rd party program
called Windows Grep. On every run, the VM would crash (windows kernel crash
where the cause is reported as unknown by Microsoft) up after the program ran
about an hour or so.

The qemu-kvm version is:

--- Comment #1 from Michael Tokarev <mjt@tls.msk.ru>  2012-05-29 06:15:24 ---
First of all, redhat version of qemu and kernel are outdated and heavily
patched - please address the questions about redhat versions to the redhat
support.  You can ask here or, more likely, in qemu related mailinglist or
bugzilla, if you can reproduce this bug with current upstream versions of
kernel and qemu[-kvm].

And second, for bugs in windows programs, please verify that this issue does
not exist on bare hardware, and ask their support channels.  It is not typical
to have this commercial development environment on an average linux developers
machine, so it is unlikely anyone will be able to help here.

A quick search turned up these known issues with the software you are using:
http://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21312878

There's nothing indicating KVM here.  As mjt mentioned, please get
support from Clearcase first.
