I started qemu without any of the virt-serial stuff, specfically:
qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu host -enable-kvm -pidfile /home/rick/qemu/hds/wxp.pid -
drive file=/home/rick/qemu/hds/wxp.raw,if=virtio,aio=native -m 1536 -name WinXP 
-net nic,model=virtio -net user -localtime -usb -vga qxl -spice 
port=1234,disable-ticketing -monitor stdio

It's been running for around 2 hours and no crash yet.

Thanks,
-Rick
