It looks like I was premature in reporting the snapshot version fixes
the problem.
Even with the snapshot version, the same mapping problem occurs sometimes.
Usually, it is after a soft reboot. For example, if I restart from
Windows 98 se to
DOS and then back to Windows 98 se then I get the key mapping where keys
act as hot keys regardless of focus. However, I have experienced a few times
when the keyboard started off in that mode. The general workaround seems to
be to do a shutdown of the virtual machine and then restart QEMU.
I have also found many applications which require a reboot run into
problems. For example, some have already mentioned that GHOST boot
disks fail to work. A problem not reported is that attempting to
convert C: drive from FAT16 to FAT32 using the windows utility will
also cause a general protection fault. The workaround for the fat
conversion is
to mount the image as drive D. For the GHOST problem I ended up
working around the problem by restoring the partition as real
partitions on the host OS and then converting them to image files.
