Alas, this seems not to be sufficient to get rid of the symptom easily -
I guess that some of the "pwrite"s are executed asynchronously, at
a time when the qemu emulation is already in "pause" mode.

Will retry with some safeguard sleep time between the "stop" to
the monitor and the creation of the snapshot.
