Qemu-dm just crashed again:

Jun  2 23:18:40 dev kernel: qemu-dm[28963]: segfault at 00007fff8d08cd40
rip 0000000000409b25 rsp 00007fff8cf61710 error 4

If I can supply any info to make those numbers meaningful then let me
know.

I'll do some more testing, but I think it is to do with being a bit
sloppy about connecting and disconnecting vnc clients. I'm using the
tightvnc java client so that connecting to the vnc console is just a
matter of loading a web page.

I'll follow up shortly if I can reproduce it.

Thanks

James
