I tried your patch. It applies cleanly to the latest CVS and an earlier
version pretty close to 0.6.0, but qemu crashes after OS/2 has loaded the
PCNet driver and waits for a dhcp response (segmentation fault).

Running OS/2 Warp 4 with Fixpack 15 and DDFP 2.

How would I go about finding out where qemu crashes? When I attach gdb to
qemu it only tells me that the debuggee has gone away once it's crashed
and I still don't see where it happened. Is there a way to produce a core
dump?

BTW, I got SVGA support to work in OS/2 with the 'new' GENGRADD drivers
available at the OS/2 device driver pack online. Use -std-vga and the
generic Vesa-driver of GENGRADD.
