Great, thanks! Can you please post a backtrace?

The easiest way is:

$ ulimit -c unlimited
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 1024 ...
...crash...
$ gdb -c qemu-system-x86_64.core
(gdb) bt

Depending on how your system is configured the core file might have a
different filename but there should be a file name *core* the current
working directory after the crash.

The backtrace will make it possible to find out where the crash
occurred.

Thanks,
Stefan

CCing Corentin and Gerd who are more familiar with the VNC code than me.

Please try again with latest master, might be fixed meanwhile.

If it still happens pleas provide full qemu and vnc client command lines.

Do you have a vnc client connected? Do you close it?

Any errors reported by the vnc client (maybe it disconnects due to an
error in the data stream)?

I have a vnc client connected, it was auto closed while qemu crashed.

No errors reported by the vnc client, just popup a reconnect window.
