Apparently this is a known problem, it has been identified
and a fix proposed, see
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu/130695
but somehow that patch hasn't made its way to neither 1.0.1
stable release of qemu nor into the master branch. I dunno
why, but the patch mentioned in the first email in that
thread fixes the issue.
