Interesting, it ran fine for me under Wine.

I can see why the patch you have works, but I don't think it's 100% 
correct.  alarm_timer->pending should remain 1 until qemu_run_all_timers 
runs.  Can you test this one instead:



If it doesn't work, I'm fine with TeLeMan's patch.

Yes, I did test this one firstly. It's working also but different with
the previous implement and I didn't know the exact reason, so I made
the another patch.
