JFYI: In the time when I got Solaris9/x86 running in Qemu I had also java
crashing issue with it, but then I have applied patch sent to qemu-users
to implement "no_ops" or something like that. The sender noted that it's
needed for Java and from this time, I was also able to start smc, although
it was horrible slow on my 1GHz x86 guest.
