Ah... I have been reading the wrong version of the wiki page again. It
doesn't help that there are many of them [0][1][2][3].

But your disk image works *great*! \o/ I don't know what is different
compared to what I was trying, but yours just works.

I haven't been able to reproduce your bug in a few hours of testing;
perhaps I need to try two of them in parallel and some I/O-heavy
workload in the background, as you're saying. Even if I do manage to
reproduce this, I don't immediately know how to debug it; maybe we
could try to use qemu's record/replay functionality to debug it
backwards from where we can detect it? (I have found the rr(1) tool
*immensely* useful for debugging GTK issues.)

Could it be that the two strings are actually different (something
being wrong with pipes perhaps)?
