The problem is there even without configuring QEMU with --enable-debug.
It justs doesn't happens very often, and very randomly. The only way to
reproduce it each time is to launch a big task in the guest (for me
building Perl) and see if it completes or now. It can take up to one
hour until it happens.
I should precise that the segfault is on the guest side.
I have tried to look at your patches, and so far I haven't found the
issue. It seems the two first patches are fine, ie I have verified the
return address is always correctly computed.
