Hello,

I bisected down a Windows XP startup crash to the following commit:

0b57e287138728f72d88b06e69b970c5d745c44a is the first bad commit
commit 0b57e287138728f72d88b06e69b970c5d745c44a
Author: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
Date:   Mon Sep 10 12:30:57 2012 +1000

Reproduceable on qemu HEAD and by commenting out the refactored patch 
into a function.

How to proceed?

Ciao,
Gerhard

SIGSEGV is in target code:

The patch (disabling the invalidate_and_set_dirty) does fix it for me as well.

I can post the target code and the code generated by TCG - not sure
how helpful that would be. There also seems to be a diff between what
is logged by "-d out_asm" and what I see in gdb with disass, and the
segv occurs in one of the diff blocks.
