Subject: Re: [Qemu-devel] bug report : kqemu and self-writing code
Date: Mon, 01 May 2006 23:29:54 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <44567DD2.8040708@bellard.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <200605012153.51699.even.rouault@mines-paris.org>

Are you sure that the bug is really in kqemu ? It is possible that your 
guest kernel implements a security system which prevents self modifying 
code using segment limits which QEMU does not check (but kqemu checks 
them !).

Regards,

Fabrice.
