Bug description:
I Use Ubuntu 32 bit 10.04 with standerd kvm.
I have E7600  @ 3.06GHz processor with VMX

In this system I Run:
LC_ALL=C PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin 
QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none /usr/bin/kvm -M pc-0.12 -enable-kvm -m 256 -smp 1 -name 
spamsender -uuid b9cacd5e-08f7-41fd-78c8-89cec59af881 -chardev 
socket,id=monitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/spamsender.monitor,server,nowait 
-monitor chardev:monitor -boot d -drive 
file=/mnt/megadiff/cdiso_400_130.iso,if=ide,media=cdrom,index=2 -drive 
file=/home/mmarkk/spamsender2.img,if=scsi,index=0,format=qcow2,cache=writeback 
-net nic,macaddr=00:00:00:00:00:00,vlan=0,name=nic.0 -net tap,vlan=0,name=tap.0 
-chardev pty,id=serial0 -serial chardev:serial0 -parallel none -usb -vnc 
127.0.0.1:0 -vga cirrus

.iso image contain custom distro of 2.4-linux kernel based system. During 
install process (when .tar.gz actively unpacked), kvm dead with segmentation 
fault.

And ONLY when scsi virtual disk and writeback simultaneously. writeback+ide, 
writethrough+scsi works OK.

I use qcow2. It seems, that qcow does not have such problems.

Virtual machine get down at radom place during file copy. It seems, when qcow2 
file size need to be expanded.
