This looks like an intermittent problem.
I have tested multiple times and found that it is an intermittent crash
with qemu-i386 while running stable-rc 6.x. That is the one of the reasons
for not including the stable list and not reporting this as a regression.

Since it is an intermittent crash it is hard to bisect.
