[Qemu-discuss] Assertion failure in qemu-char.c

[Wesley Holevinski]

Hi all,

I'm running into an issue that's causing my guests to crash while using vm-channels.  There is an assertion that's failing in qemu-char.c, that, when it happens causes my guest to go down.  The error can be seen in the host-side logs.

Rather than being too wordy on-list, here's a link to a bug I opened: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1268671

I apologize if this isn't the right list for this, but I'm trying to get more eyes on this since guests crashing seems like a critical issue IMO.

Also take note of the comment in the source; there is a comment about how the snippet of code that's failing exists because of a bug in glib.  Can anyone provide more info on that glib bug?

Thanks,
Wes H
