I did not look at the console, but found out similar crashes there. How did you
get the output to the client terminal instead of the qemu console (not possible
to cut and paste from that)? I have now tested both the statically built tar,
the native tar downloaded by guix and the native tar: No errors now.

How can I rebuild from scratch to watch the output on the console?
