Thank you for your debugging help. Of course you are right that
sigsegv is not good error handling. I can look later what might be
the error in /sbin/v86d. But now I am busy with other bugs.

The latest commits to https://github.com/mjanusz/v86d are from 2014.
However we patch v86d to use a more recent x86emu. Maybe there is
some incompatibility.

Probably yes. I will get back to this bug later, feel free to change
and catch things in the meantime.
Maybe the sigsegv even shows up in QEMU?

Florian
