The patch fixes Valgrind error messages (tested on 64 bit Linux Debian 
Squeeze)
and segfaults (seen on 32 bit Linux Ubuntu Lenny and on 64 bit Windows).

Anthony, please apply it to QEMU 1.2.

Regards,

Stefan

PS. Are there perhaps more bugs of this sort? A quick test looking
for .class_init without .class_size shows a lot of files.
