[Bug 584480] [NEW] qemu-system-arm segfaults emulating versatile machine

[Balau]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: qemu-kvm

The following commands close immediately with segmentation fault:
qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -kernel zImage
qemu-system-arm -M versatileab -kernel zImage

The following does not cause segmentation fault:
qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -kernel zImage -m 128M
qemu-system-arm -M versatileab -kernel zImage -m 128M

zImage is a linux kernel image for ARM that worked with previous
versions of qemu-system-arm, but the error is independent from the
-kernel option, because it segfaults using any file.

The option -m 128M should be the default, and in older versions it worked the same with and without it.
