Hi,

Closing a file that is open for writing, and then reading from it
sounds like a better idea than the opposite, given that the content
will be flushed.

IMO it's a too fragile fix. It needs the `self._qemu_log_file.close()` being
called before `self._load_io_log()` but a future change can make this
condition unmet again. Maybe you could document that in the code. Or change
the `_load_io_log()` to close the log file if it is open (also document it
in code).

I'm glad you see this is needed... and then something else.  I'll investigate
making this more robust as time allows it.

Question is: do you ack/nack this change?

hmm... /me thinking hmmm... okay, good deal. :)
