With this fix now I can boot XP images newly created with 0.6.1 but I can't 
boot any longer my older images created with versions < 0.6.1 unless I specify 
hda geometry on the command line.
Not a big deal though, I can run QEMU happily with that :)

Thanks for the great work, Fabrice!

Ciao,
Piero
