Hi,

I somehow narrowed the problem down to x86_64. As soon as I use
qemu-i386 on i386 or ppc the memory mapping tables are OK. When using
x86_64 as host they are broken. Could this be a generic 64-bit host
problem? I doubt that this actually has to do too much with the
threading itself, because it works fine on other platforms.
