*Inside*? Well, this is *VERY* different from what we were understanding. And 
nobody checked something like that...

I'm not, unless your sentence mean that you have a test server on which you 
verified this is true... and even in that case, it can mean that this bug 
shows on hosts not supporting SYSEMU (like SKAS3/2.6-v1 hosts). Which would 
be anyway a bug.

And UML *should* be happy even without SYSEMU (if not for anything else, 
because you can pass "nosysemu" to it).
